Cutaneous tuberculosis is rare, it accounts for 2% of all extrapulmonary tuberculosis and is one of the multiple clinical presentations of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
The lupus vulgaris is a particular clinical form and is often represented by a single lesion, the multiple forms associated with pulmonary tuberculosis are rare.
We present a new case of multiple skin lesions of the face of a lupus vulgaris revealing pulmonary tuberculosis.
