A rare and complex case of multifocal mucocutaneous lupus tuberculosis with isolated lesion of the tongue.
We have described a case of plurifocal tuberculous lupus with a localization limited to the tongue. This finding is remarkable because of its rarity. The weakly positive tuberculin reaction and the discovery of a concomitant myeloproliferative syndrome add interest and complexity to the case.
