We present the case of a 26-year-old Ecuadorian woman who presented with multiple hypertrophic scars along the lower left limb, secondary to a cutaneous process that she had had for 11 years, previously diagnosed and treated in her country as cutaneous leishmaniasis. It had been clinically worsening for 9 months with suppuration through the scars in the groin and thigh, associated with local pain and systemic symptoms. As we suspected cutaneous tuberculosis, we performed a number of complementary examinations to confirm the diagnosis and rule out bone involvement. Finally, a lymph node culture confirmed that it was scrofuloderma.
