Tuberculous gumma is a skin condition characterized histologically by massive necrosis. [1] Restated, this is a skin condition that results from hematogenous dissemination of mycobacteria from a primary focus, resulting in firm, nontender erythematous nodules that …

Metastatic tuberculous abscess (tuberculous gumma) is also due to haematogenous spread to the skin in children and immunocompromised adults, but presents as a subcutaneous nodule or cold abscess on an extremity.

Endogenous TB encompasses all the forms spread by hematogenous and contiguous routes. Acute verrucosa TB and TB gumma occur by hematogenous spread. Scrofuloderma spreads from underlying structures, while self-inoculation from the gastrointestinal tract …

Metastasic tuberculous abscess, also known as tuberculous gumma, is a variety of CTB which is characterized by the development of cold abscesses that form on the patient's extremities or trunk without any underlying tissue involvement [4].

Tuberculous gummas are an unusual form of tuberculosis (TB) accounting for 1%-2% of all cutaneous TB cases. The aim of this article was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, bacteriological, immunological, and therapeutic features of this form upon a case report and a literature review.
