Özet

Lupus vulgaris is the most encountered form of cutaneous tuberculosis, and the most common

site of involvement is the head and neck. In our lupus vulgaris cases, the lesions were located

in throcal area in one case and gluteal area in the other. Ziehl-Neelsen and periodic acid-Schiff

stains did not demonstrate any acid-fast bacilli. Culture did not grow mycobacterium tuberculosis

except in case 1. PPD was strongly positive in all of the cases. Lesions of lupus vulgaris improved

after anti-tuberculotic threrapy.

Key words: Lupus vulgaris, unusual involvement
