Résumé

Mycobacterial skin infections are rare, with a wide spectrum of clinical features in immunocompromised individuals. Overall, they represent <2% of all forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Tuberculous cellulitis is considered a skin manifestation of miliary tuberculosis. We present a case of tuberculous cellulitis in an immunocompetent patient.
