We describe a 56-year-old woman with Mycobacterium avium complex infection of the skin. She presented with a granulomatous plaque studded with pustules and crusts on the cheeks and bridge of the nose. The appearance resembled lupus vulgaris. The lesion responded well to antituberculous treatment within 9 months. An association of Mycobacterium avium complex with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix is emphasized.
