Abstract :
Lupus Vulgaris is a cutaneous manifestation of Tuberculosis (TB) in a previous sensitized host. The lesions are more commonly seen in buttocks and lower limbs in Indian patients , while western patients have it in the head and neck. Nasal involvement is seldom seen with the involvement of underlying cartilage. We report a case of lupus vulgaris in the Alae of Nose , without any nasal cartilage involvement. There was an erythematous plaque with scaling on the right side of the alae of the nose. A proper clinical examination and history with adequate histopathological examination guided into the diagnosis. The patient was initiated on Antitubercular treatment and subsequently responded well.
