Primary Tuberculosis of penis is an extremely rare entity, even in the developing countries. We report a case of a 31 years old male patient who presented to us with some ulcerated lesions on the glans penis and was diagnosed as primary tuberculosis of glans penis, confirmed by biopsy and supported by a strongly positive Mantoux test and positive TB-PCR. The patient responded to anti- tubercular therapy well. There was no co-existing tuberculous infection elsewhere.
