摘要

Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a rare autosomal recessive chromosomal instability syndrome characterized by severe immunodeficiency, growth retardation, microcephaly, a distinct facial appearance, and a high predisposition to lymphoid malignancy. We report a 7-year-old white girl with NBS associated with cutaneous tuberculosis. The patient presented with multiple red-brown, centrally scaring plaques on the leg and had neither pulmonary nor systemic manifestation of tuberculosis. Polymerase chain reaction testing using Mycobacterium genus-and Mycobacterium tuberculosis species-specific primers confirmed the clinical diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis. This is the first report describing the simultaneous presentation of NBS and cutaneous tuberculosis.
