Pseudotumoral Bone Tuberculosis of the Shoulder: About A Case and Reviewed the Literature
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Osteoarticular tuberculosis represents 1 to 3% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The involvement of the shoulder with its pseudotumoral form is extremely rare. We report here the case of a 68-year-old woman who presented with a swelling of the right shoulder for one year and in whom the diagnosis of a tumor-like tumor tumor was retained after performing a biopsy with an anatomopathological study. The patient was treated with multi-bacillary chemotherapy according to the national program. This treatment involves the combination of rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and streptomycin for two months; relayed by rifampicin and isoniazid for seven months. The evolution was favorable.
