Light micrograph through a section of tissue showing lupus vulgaris. This disease is a rare, chronic progressive form of tuberculosis caused by continuous spread from an underlying focus of infection. It is characterised by plaque with an apple-jelly nodule that extends irregularly with scar formation and tissue destruction. Skin lesions typically appear on the head and neck and particularly around the nose. | |
