Abstract
Tuberculosis of the shoulder is rare. It encompasses all articular and periarticular tuberculouses of the shoulder. Its insidious evolution, mimicking inflammatory and degenerative diseases, reflects the frequency of its diagnostic delay. We report a rare case of tuberculous bursitis of the shoulder in a woman living in rural areas, with renal insufficiency and treated for peritoneal TB and psoas. The anamnesis revealed signs of tuberculous impregnation. Clinical examination showed painful swelling of the shoulder associated with stiffness. MRI of the shoulder objectified infectious bursal disease. Its tuberculous origin was confirmed by the histological examination of ultrasound-guided synovial biopsy. The patient underwent TB treatment with good outcome. At 9-year follow-up, the patient had satisfactory articular function with no recurrence of infectious disease.Entities:
