Abstract
A case of tuberculous fasciitis with tenosynovitis is described. No other organs were affected and tissue histology was not diagnostic. The diagnosis was confirmed by tissue culture and our patient was treated by surgical debridement and antituberculous drug therapy. A high index of suspicion for tuberculosis will alert clinicians to the correct diagnosis in unusual clinical presentations.Entities:
