On examination, there was an ulceroproliferative growth covered with slough over PPW. Positron emission tomography scan showed uptake in PPW. There was no uptake in any other part of body. A biopsy from PPW lesion showed epithelioid cell granulomas with Langhans type giant cells. Auramine-rhodamine staining showed few beaded bacilli consistent with TB.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Tuberculosis of PPW is an extremely uncommon entity and can mimic malignancy.
