Erythema Induratum of Bazin (EIB) is a chronic nodular eruption on the lower leg. It is a form of tuberculoid reaction hypersensitivity to tuberculosis antigen. EIB mostly occurs in young women, especially adolescents and middle-aged women, but rarely occurs in young children. The reported case was a 4-year-old boy in October 2023. The diagnosis was confirmed by tissue histopathology. The patient’s EIB was successfully treated with an anti-tuberculosis agent. Hence, we report an uncommon case of chronic nodular panniculitis in a four-year-old Cambodian boy.
