Abstract
In the August, 1925, number of theArchives of Dermatology and Syphilology1we reported a case of multiple sarcoid-like granulomas of the skin of undetermined nature. The patient has since died. We herewith report necropsy findings and further laboratory studies which show that the eruption was of tuberculous origin. REVIEW OF REPORTED CASE The case was that of a negress, aged 23, who presented a widespread generalized papular, squamous, nodular eruption which first appeared in December, 1922. The lesions were psoriasiform and infiltrated; some were annular, and others followed the natural line of cleavage of the skin. In the course of twenty-one months, almost all of the lesions involuted, with scar formation, some with prior ulceration. The scars were soft and pliable, resembling the scars of syphilids. There were constitutional and objective symptoms of an infection, the nature of which was undetermined. Tuberculosis was rightly suspected, but not proved.
