Abstract Lichen scrofulosorum, also known as “tuberculosis cutis lichenoides,” is a rare tuberculid that presents as a lichenoid eruption of minute papules in children and adolescents with tuberculosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Case presentation A 22-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. The nodes were painless but gradually increasing in size. He also reported a low-grade fever, especially in the evenings, and poor appetite. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Eyes
- Anterior Uveitis
In LS extrathoracic manifestations other than EN may occur concurrently with or appear soon after EN, and they include constitutional symptoms such as malaise, fatigue and fever (usually low-grade), anterior uveitis and peripheral facial palsy, sometimes [em-consulte.com]
- Foreign Body Sensation
Granulomatous inflammation of the tonsils, however, presents as non-specific sore throat and foreign body sensation in the throat. The concomitant presentation of the abovementioned tubercular manifestations has not been reported in the literature. [ejo.springeropen.com]
Urogenital
- Scrotal Ulcer
Cutaneous tuberculosis may also be a direct manifestation of underlying tuberculosis as seen in the case reported by Al Zayyani et al,6 in which chronic tuberculous epididymo-orchitis presented as scrotal ulcers. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
The patient was also under further investigation for possible occult pulmonary TB because the initial workup had not established the definite involvement of the lungs. [omicsonline.org]
Foreign bodies in granulomatous cutaneous lesions and sarcoidosis are not mutually exclusive and, therefore, a workup to exclude systemic sarcoidosis should be undertaken [ 20, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 ]. [em-consulte.com]
Skin Test
- Skin Test Positive
The eruption is usually associated with a strongly positive tuberculin reaction. We report a case of lichen scrofulosorum in an adult male following Mantoux tuberculin skin test. KEYWORDS: Lichen Scrofulosorum, Mantoux test, Tuberculin Skin Test. [jemds.com]

The treatment of LS should follow the established guidelines for TB treatment as those of any other part of the body affected with TB. Following anti-TB treatment, the lesions usually clear within 4 to 12 weeks without scarring [6,10,11,15,16]. [omicsonline.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis of patients with sarcoidosis mainly depends on the extent and severity of the systemic involvement [ 15, 17, 18, 20 ]. [em-consulte.com]

Prognosis is poor, as affected individuals tend to be very ill at initial presentation (i.e., they have HIV, cancer, and/or are immunosuppressed). [jcadonline.com]
Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
The etiology and pathogenesis are the same as in papulo-necrotic tuberculosis (tuberculide) of the skin (see). [lecheniebolezni.com]
The former classified because Mycobacterium tuberculosis plays a major etiologic role and the latter because Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of several possibly etiologic agents. [jcadonline.com]
Clues to the drug-induced etiology include epidermal parakeratosis, absence of wedge-shaped hypergranulosis, transepidermal necrotic keratinocytes, deeper mid-dermal perivascular and periadnexal infiltrates, and the presence of eosinophils. 1,2,5 The [journals.lww.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology The clinical manifestations of cutaneous tuberculosis primarily depend on the mode of infection, previous sensitization, and the immune status of the host. The mode of infection may be exogenous, autoinoculation, or endogenous. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Whatever underlies the pathophysiology, a consensus has been reached that PNT and LS represent true hypersensitivity reactions rather than the result of a local CTB infection. [jcadonline.com]
