Resumen

Cutaneous tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, with a prevalence of less than 3% of cases worldwide. In turn, tuberculosis verrucosa cutis is a less frequent subtype, representing a straight diagnosis. The disability associated with this pathology is little studied. The clinical case of a female patient with a verrucous lesion on her hand for 10 years is presented, after receiving a standardized antituberculous regimen with a favorable response, with persistent functional limitation of the affected limb. © (2026), (Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina).
