A case of penis tuberculid (papulonecrotic tuberculid of the glans penis) and its treatment with combination of oral rifampicin (RFP) and injection of an extract from tubercle bacilli (T.B. vaccine) were reported. We also examined the literature and discovered 37 cases of this disease in Japan in the last 10 years (between 1978 and 1987).
