Tuberculosis

**Tuberculate** is a term proposed by E. A. Mustofeld in 1928. Tuberous tumors usually consist of many closely spaced nodes of various sizes and structures, resembling large tubercles or separate groups.

**Tuberous tumor**, in comparison with a simple compaction, has specific properties: it has a “lumpy” surface, uneven consistency, and bleeds easily with light pressure. All these features make it possible to classify a tuberous tumor as an independent nosological form. These features determine the clinical picture of the disease and require various treatment methods. Due to the complexity of this pathology, it is necessary to thoroughly understand the details of the process in order to adequately assess the patient’s condition and choose the correct treatment method.

It is important to note that since tubercles are so diverse, the boundaries between different types of tubercles are often blurred, and doctors often regard one type of tubercles as a manifestation of another type of lesion. There is also no uniformity and clarity in diagnosis. In order to correctly diagnose, determine treatment tactics and give the necessary recommendations for the prevention of lumpy skin pathology, it is necessary to know the distinctive features of various types of lumpy skin formations.
