title: Cutaneous tuberculosis and malignancy.
abstract: This is a report of three cases of associated tuberculous and neoplastic processes. The first is a case of lymphosarcoma complicated by cutaneous tuberculosis. The remaining two are cases of cutaneous tuberculosis complicated by squamouse cell carcinoma. Due to clinical similarity, the diagnosis of the secondary process in these cases was evoked by its failure to respond to treatment of the primary disease.
