Erythema Induratum of Bazin – Tuberculosis in disguise

We present a case of a 43-year-old lady with recurrent crops of nodules on legs. Mantoux test was positive. Histopathology revealed lobular panniculitis, epithelioid cells, lymphocytes and giant cells surrounding foci of caseous necrosis which was suggestive of erythema induratum. Her lesions responded to antitubercular therapy (ATT).
