## Abstract

Calvarial tuberculosis (TB) is an uncommon form of skeletal TB. Early diagnosis can be challenging as they may exhibit diagnostic dilemmas. Another rare kind of skin TB is called TB verrucosa cutis. In this case, both of these uncommon forms were observed simultaneously and were effectively treated with first-line antitubercular therapy.
