Purpose: Clinical presentation of tuberculosis is pleomorphic. Some forms are rare and better known by surgeons than infectious disease specialists. Methods: We describe a rare case of isolated chronic tenosynovitis of the wrist due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a 66-year-old man and review similar cases in the literature. Results: On literature search, only 23 other cases of tuberculous tenosynovitis were retrieved. Our case is similar, with an insidious classical presentation. The diagnosis was suggested at the surgical presentation by the presence of rice body masses. Conclusion: The diagnosis of tuberculous tenosynovitis should be considered in chronic tenosynovitis. Functional prognosis may be committed without adequate treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
