[Sporotrichoid-like tuberculosis: an unusual presentation of cutaneous tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient].

Tuberculosis remains a major global health problem. Cutaneous involvement is a rare manifestation of tuberculosis infection. Sporotrichoid clinical pattern consists of a linear arrangement of nodules along the lymphatic vessels. It is often seen in sporotrichosis. Few cases have been reported of cutaneous tuberculosis presenting as a sporotrichoid clinical pattern. We describe a 84-year-old female with ulcerative nodules on upper extremity caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, emphasizing the importance of considering cutaneous tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of sporotrichoid lesions.
