Lupus vulgaris on face: a case report from rural NepalABSTRACT Lupus vulgaris is the most prevalent form of cutaneous tuberculosis in adults, arising from re-infection or spreading through lymphatic, hematogenous, or direct transmission in individuals with moderate immunity and heightened tuberculin sensitivity. It is more frequently observed in females and accounts for 1-2% of all extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases. The most commonly affected areas are the face and neck. Here, we present a case of lupus vulgaris in a 66-year-old female patient.Keywords: Facial involvement, Granulomatous inflammation, Lupus vulgaris, Tuberculin sensitivity
