Dr. Anil. H. T, Dr. Smitha S. G, Dr. Dr. Saud Ahmed

Abstract :

Lupus vulgaris is the commonest form of cutaneous tuberculosis and can affect any part of the body, the ear lobe being a very rare site. Here we report a case of a forty year old immunocompetent male who presented with a solitary granulomatous skin lesion over his left ear lobe of 15 years duration. A histopathological diagnosis of lupus vulgaris was made. The patient responded remarkably to 3 drug anti-tubercular treatment.
