A 42-year-old Indian farmer presented with gradually progressive swelling of the right lower limb for the last 20 years. There were few verrucous plaques over the right foot for the same duration. Those plaques were initially ignored and mistaken as lymphoedema-induced secondary changes by primary care physicians. Histopathology of the skin lesion showed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with upper dermal granulomatous infiltrate and a diagnosis of tuberculosis verrucosa c utis was suspected. Subsequently, the lesions as well as lymphoedema improved significantly with antitubercular therapy.
