| Popis: | Diaphyseal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare case of the skeletal TB. The following report documents the case of a 52-year-old Moroccan woman with a swelling over the right forearm followed by pulmonary TB under treatment for 3 months. The radiographs of the forearm show a lytic image located at the radius mid-diaphysis. The histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. The patient received surgical drainage with trepanation of the bone. The antibacillary chemotherapy was administered for 6 months. It is, therefore, indispensable to bear in mind the possibility of such atypical presentations of TB when making a rapid and pertinent diagnosis and prescribing the appropriate treatment. |
