title: Lichen scrofulosorum type tuberculids of the face.
abstract: We report the case of a 27-year-old man who presents facial tuberculid of the type lichen scrofulosorum. This presentation stimulates interest in those aspects which cutaneous lesions associated with tuberculosis can manifest. As a consequence of the growing poverty and the flow of new immigrants into our industrialized regions, this pathology is becoming more frequent today.
