ABSTRACT
Cutaneous tuberculosis is a skin infection mainly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.1 In regard with classification, it is divided into primary infection, in which there has been no previous exposure to the organism, and secondary forms, as a result of either reinfection or reactivation.1 Lupus vulgaris represents the most common form of reinfection; it affects individuals of all ages, with a female predilection.1
