<unk>  is a rash of small, red papular nodules in the skin that may appear 2–4 weeks after inoculation by Mycobacterium<unk>  in a previously infected and immunocompetent individual. It is also known as "prosector's wart" because it was a common occupational disease of prosectors, the preparers of dissections and autopsies. Reinfection by<unk>  via the skin, therefore, can result from accidental exposure to human tuberculous tissue in physicians, pathologists and laboratory workers; or to tissues of other infected animals, in veterinarians, butchers, etc. TVC is one of the many forms of cutaneous<unk> , such as the tuberculous chancre (which results from the cutaneous inoculation in immunocompetent people without previous exposure), and the reactivation cutaneous<unk>  (the most common form, which appears in previously infected patients). Other forms of cutaneous<unk>  are: lupus vulgaris, scrofuloderma, lichen scrofulosorum, erythema induratum and the papulonecrotic tuberculid. It was described by René Laennec in 1826.
