Popis:	We report a case of slipped capital femoral epiphysis that developed associated with a peripheral osteoarticular tuberculosis lesion located at the proximal metaphysis of the femur in contact with the growth plate in a 12-year-old boy. Multiple factors have been involved in slipped capital femoral epiphysis pathogenesis, but we believe an osteoarticular tuberculosis lesion is not a common finding as a possible etiological factor causing weakness of the growth plate and, therefore, the femoral head displacement.
