"Scrofuloderma" Meaning

Scrofuloderma is a condition where a chronic, granulomatous infection of the lymph nodes of the neck, typically due to tuberculosis, causes the lymph nodes to ulcerate and break through the skin, resulting in the formation of sinus tracts and pits on the skin. It can also lead to the destruction of surrounding tissue and the formation of abscesses.

"Scrofuloderma" Examples

Definition:

Scrofuloderma is a type of cutaneous tuberculosis where the disease begins in the lymph nodes of the neck and hollows out the lymph nodes and the surrounding tissue by the expanding caseous center. At this point the inflammation and subsequent destruction causes microscopic fistula development. Matted and discharging sinus tracts are formed. Then they will discharge along superficial reliably.
