Pulmonary lesions remain a significant public health problem. Extrapulmonary lesions can occur.
Cutaneous localization is uncommon and favored by immunosuppression, such as chronic
hemodialysis. Chronic non-healing wounds of immunocompromised patients are very often neglected. In developing countries, diagnosis is usually complicated and delayed due to scarcity of
resources. New diagnostic tests are inaccessible in Burkina Faso, which contrasts with the
availability of treatment. We report a case of cutaneous tuberculosis in a patient undergoing chronic
hemodialysis, diagnosed based on a chronic wound with a positive Tuberculosis Skin Test and
histological evidence. The wound completely healed after six months of anti-tuberculosis treatment.
