Additional information

Comment

The authors describe the case of a 23-year-old woman suffering from a tuberculous ulcer of the scalp, sufficiently cured by excision and anti-tuberculosis treatment for 2 years. The case is well documented and worth being published to prevent forgetting this entity—not only in endemic zones.
