Abstract
A 3-year old girl had multiple, large, deep, infected ulcers on the extremities and buttocks for 1½ years. Additional features included malnutrition, Cushingoid facies with buffalo hump, and absence of any underlying bony involvement. Edge biopsy showed a tuberculous picture without vasculitis or acid-fast bacilli; X-ray of the chest revealed military tuberculosis. The ulcers, although atypical, healed completely and rapidly on anti-tuberculous therapy.
