Genital tuberculid in a female child: a new entity (childhood vulval tuberculid).
Localized tuberculid has been infrequently reported in the literature. Most of these reports are of papulonecrotic tuberculids localized to the penis, an entity designated as "penis tuberculid." In females, such a localized genital tuberculid has not been documented till date. We report an 11-year-old girl with lichen scrofulosorum confined to the vulva, associated with cervical and inguinal tubercular lymphandenitis.
