| description | Bifocal musculoskeletal tuberculosis is a rare presentation of the disease. The following report documents the case of a 28-year-old Moroccan man presenting simultaneously with a swelling of the palm of the hand and the sternoclavicular joint. The HIV serology and hepatitis (B, C) serology were negative, as well as the tuberculin skin test. The radiographs of both locations were normal. The histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. The antibacillary chemotherapy produces excellent results. It is therefore indispensable to bear in mind the possibility of such atypical presentations of tuberculosis when making a rapid and pertinent diagnosis and prescribing the appropriate treatment. |
