Bazin's disease
Also known as:
Bazin's malady
Bazin-tuberculosis indurativa cutanea et subcutanea
Associated persons:
Pierre-Antoine-Ernest Bazin
Description:
Chronic skin disease characterized by hard cutaneous nodules that break down to form indolent necrotic ulcers leaving atrophic, pigmented scars. On the calves. Initially, it was considered a form of skin tuberculosis, and most frequently seen in adolescent girls and menopausal women with tuberculosis or positive tuberculin test. However, cases that appear to be unrelated to tuberculosis have been observed. Etiology still uncertain.
