squamous cell carcinoma in Lupus Vulgaris
Journal Der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, 2004Co-Authors: Jens Kimmritz, Barbara Hermes, Christiane Schewe, N P HaasAbstract:Lupus Vulgaris and carcinoma in lupo have become rare events that take place in the developed countries only under special circumstances. A 53-year-old woman developed such a carcinoma. She suffered from alcoholism, a well known risk factor for tuberculosis. The diagnosis of Lupus Vulgaris was confirmed by biopsy when an erythematous lesion on her arm that had been present for 25 years enlarged and subsequently ulcerated. Chemotherapy was discontinued because of lack of compliance and the ulcer grew markedly over the following 16 months. Therefore the entire lesion was excised. Histology showed a squamous cell carcinoma within the ulcer. Neither further systemic manifestations of tuberculosis nor metastases of the carcinoma were found. Under continuous combined antituberculous therapy, the patient remained free of symptoms. This case underlines the problems associated with a disease that has been nearly forgotten in the western countries. It also shows that alcoholism is a risk factor for tuberculosis, along with debilitating diseases such as lymphoma and AIDS as well as immunosuppressive therapy.

superficial resection combined with photodynamic therapy for successful treatment of facial Lupus Vulgaris with squamous cell carcinoma
Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy, 2018Co-Authors: Qian Zhang, Rong Zeng, Fang FangAbstract:Abstract Skin squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common non-melanoma skin tumor worldwide. Most skin squamous cell carcinoma patients have underlying diseases. Here, we report a 56 year-old patient diagnosed with skin squamous cell carcinoma and with a 30 year course of neglected Lupus Vulgaris, which was very rare. In this case, we adopted a treatment strategy involving a small wound: superficial resection combined with photodynamic therapy with a satisfied result.

annular Lupus Vulgaris an unusual case undiagnosed for five years
European Journal of Dermatology, 2007Co-Authors: Miizeyyen Gonul, Arzu Kilic, Seray Kulcu Cakmak, Ulker Gul, Oguzhan Kocak, Murat DemirizAbstract:Tuberculosis is still a serious problem in both developing and developed countries. It is often confused with various cutaneous disorders both clinically and histopathologically.A 46-year-old woman attended our clinic with progressive, asymptomatic, annular skin lesions on her right upper extremity for 5 years. She had received many different therapies for these lesions at other instutions previously but these medications were not effective and the lesions deteriorated. On dermatological examination, well-demarcated, irregular bordered, violaceous colored, elevated and crusted annular lesions on her right hand dorsum and forearm were observed. She was diagnosed as having Lupus Vulgaris clinically and histopathologically. Antituberculosis therapy was administered and regression of the lesions started in the second week of medication.We report a case of long-standing, undiagnosed and uncommon, annular form of Lupus Vulgaris. We want to stress that clinical and histopathological findings are still important for the diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis.
