Abstract

Lupus vulgaris is a cutaneous form of tuberculosis that occurs in previously sensitized individuals with a strong positive delayed type of hypersensitivity to tuberculin. Classical lupus lesions are seen in head and neck region and isolated involvement of pinna is rare and therefore high index of suspicion is required for its diagnosis. We present a 39-year-old male with non-healing ulcer of pinna since a year. The diagnosis of lupus vulgaris was conrmed on histopathological evaluation along with positivity for acid fast bacilli. The patient showed well response to standard 4 drug regimen of antitubercular therapy
