 AB    Lupus vulgaris is now a rare dermatological disease. However, in view of
       the increase in risk factors (immigration from areas endemic for
       tuberculosis, multiply drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium
       tuberculosis, HIV), cutaneous tuberculosis should always be considered
       in the differential diagnosis. We report on a case of lupus vulgaris
       vegetans of the nose, which developed by way of autoinoculation of the
       patient with Mycobacterium tuberculosis from reactivated, pulmonary
       tuberculosis and responded well to tuberculostatic therapy.
