Abstract
Cutaneous tuberculosis occurs in 1-2% of world cases of tuberculosis and more common in tropical countries. It presents with different clinical forms. Unusual clinical presentations are not uncommon and awareness of these will help in suspecting and managing these patients successfully. Lupus pernio like lupus vulgaris, tuberculosis of glans penis and lichen scrofulosorum on the distal parts of limbs are presented here because of their unusual clinical presentation.
