| Popis: | Infectious tuberculous tenosynovitis (TS) of the extensor tendons of the wrist is an exceptional location of musculoskeletal tuberculosis. We present a case of tuberculous extensor TS in a 52-year-old diabetic male patient presenting as a huge mass on the dorsum of the hand, in the absence of other pulmonary or extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis. This report increases physicians' vigilance when dealing with patients with risk factors of tuberculosis, allowing early diagnosis and optimal treatment. |
