Abstract
An 11-year-old boy presented with multiple swellings all over the body. One of the swellings present over the chest was incised and drained. This revealed the diagnosis by the demonstration of tubercle bacilli in the discharge from cutaneous sinuses and cold abscesses. Surgical treatment was followed by four-drug anti-tubercular chemotherapy.
