The authors describe a case of extrapulmonary tuberculosis with affection of the reticuloendothelial system in a 59-year-old female patient. After successful treatment the findings in the spleen, bone marrow and the laboratory results had normal levels. The authors draw attention to the diagnostic difficulties. They were able to confirm the diagnosis only by histological examination of biopsy from the pelvic bone. An interesting finding was eruption of lupus vulgaris on the legs in the course of treatment. The authors discuss some aspects of the disease and its differential diagnosis.
