Management of Ulnar Nerve Tuberculoma: A Challenge to Plastic Surgeons.

Rajesh Maurya1, Mohd Altaf Mir2, Prasenjit Singh1.   

Abstract

Tuberculoma is a well-circumscribed, space-occupying lesion. However, the involvement of peripheral nerves is rare. Here, we report a rare case of left ulnar nerve tuberculoma managed by surgical exploration and tangential excision of tuberculoma lesion sparing, most of the nerve fibers followed by antitubercular treatment. The patient responded well to the management strategy with improvement in motor and sensory activity of the affected limb.
