title: Vulval tuberculosis - an unusual presentation of disseminated tuberculosis.
abstract: Extrapulmonary involvement can occur in isolation or along with a pulmonary focus as in the case of patients with disseminated tuberculosis. Vulval TB is very rare and the presentation can be quite variable, and may be misdiagnosed as sexually transmitted disease. We herein report a young lady with disseminated TB presenting as Vulval TB.
