Verrucous psoriasis is a rare variant of plaque-type psoriasis with only about 35 cases reported. The authors reported a man
with a history of psoriasis vulgaris for seven years, presented with progressive verrucous hyperkeratotic plaques on both legs for
three years. His earlier investigations favored the diagnosis of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis. After completing the antituberculous
therapy, the lesions persisted. The later investigations favored a rare subtype of psoriasis named verrucous psoriasis.
