✦ Synopsis

A 60-year-old man presented with multiple superficial ulcers on the glans penis. Histopathology, a positive tuberculin test result, and therapeutic response to antituberculous therapy confirmed the diagnosis of penile tuberculosis. Examination was otherwise normal except for a solitary enlarged reactive lymph node on the right side. There was no evidence of coexistent tuberculous infection elsewhere.
