Lichen scrofulosorum is a rare form of tuberculid seen in children and young adults. The cutaneous lesions are typically symptomless papular eruptions, associated with a strong Mantoux reaction, tuberculosis of lymph nodes and/or other organs or rarely following BCG vaccination. We describe an unusual case of occurrence of lichen scrofulosorum following BCG immunotherapy in a patient with lepromatous leprosy.
