The man’s wart was caused by a rare form of tuberculosis that affects the skin. He was diagnosed with tuberculosis verrucosa cutis, which can happen when M. tuberculosis enters the skin of someone who has been previously infected. The man was prescribed a six-month course of these drugs, and within two months, his wart had “abated,” the doctors reported. These granulomas surround and attack the pathogen, triggering inflammation . However, they noted that he was a veterinarian, which could be a possible risk factor. The clinicians described the growth as having an overlying “thick yellow-brown crusting. “
