Case Report: Clinical and Pathological Findings of Tuberculous Gumma: A Case Report and Literature Review.
American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene 2024 March 13
Tuberculous gumma (TG) is a rare type of cutaneous tuberculosis thought to occur as a result of the hematogenous spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is more common in immunosuppressed individuals. An 8-year-old boy presented with a 2-month history of multiple indolent enlarging ulcerated nodules on his left upper extremity. He had a past medical history of bacille Calmette-Guerin vaccine induced lupus vulgaris. Skin biopsy of the nodules showed granulomas and neutrophil-dominated purulent inflammation. Ziehl-Neelsen staining was negative, and the cultures were positive for M. tuberculosis. Furthermore, the M. tuberculosis complex was identified using metagenomic next-generation sequencing. Standard antitubercular therapy was started at full doses, and the skin lesions had significantly improved 3 months later. Here we review the literature since 2000 and describe the clinical and pathological features of TG.
