Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 37
Abstract
[b]BACKGROUND:[/b] Tuberculosis has decreased persistently since the introduction of antituberculous chemotherapy. However there are reports in recent literature indicating that rate of tuberculosis is increasing.1 Musculo skeletal tuberculosis occurs in approximately 1-3% of tuberculosis patients.2 Tuberculosis of soft tissue such as tenosynovial sheath or bursa is rare. 3 We are presenting a rare case of compound dorsal ganglion which is accompanied by multiple rice body formation without co existing active bone and joint tuberculosis. [b]OBJECTIVE[/b]: to describe history clinical and radiologic presentation of compound dorsal ganglion and management. [b]METHODS[/b]: Detailed history, physical examination and investigations. [b]CONCLUSION[/b]: We report a unique case of compound dorsal ganglion with rice bodies formation in absence of any other concomitant focus of tuberculous infection, managed with excision biopsy and anti - tuberculous regimen.
