“…6 Tuberculous osteomyelitis of the sternum and scapula are exceedingly rare. 8,9 Tubercular arthritis of the temporo-mandibular joints are very rare; only a few cases have been reported. 10 Multimodality imaging with USG, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and MRI play an important role in the diagnosis of TB, as lesions may be subtle in the initial stage and, therefore, mostly not appreciated on radiographs.…”

Skeletal tubercular infections that do not involve the spine or large joints are rarely encountered. This case series aims to highlight the importance of imaging in diagnosing skeletal tuberculosis (TB) at uncommon sites in clinically unsuspected patients by demonstrating specific imaging findings. We present the clinical details and imaging findings of seven pathologically confirmed cases of extraspinal skeletal TB. A multimodality imaging approach including radiography, ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) scan was used in most cases. The imaging studies revealed an infective soft tissue collection over different sites including the sternoclavicular joint, acromion process, chest wall and temporo-mandibular joint, along with destruction and erosion of the underlying or adjacent bones. In tubercular endemic countries, strong clinical suspicion should be entertained in cases presenting with a soft tissue collection, even around unusual skeletal sites.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Pulmonary TB is the most common form of presentation, but extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality. Rarely, patients with EPTB develop a form of ankle or foot arthritis. The diagnosis of TB arthritis is often overlooked because of the insidious onset and the non-specific clinical symptoms. Prognosis is generally poor; early diagnosis and delivery of the most appropriate treatment is critical to avoid functional disability.LEARNING POINTSTuberculous arthritis of the ankle has high morbidity but often goes undiagnosed.Tuberculous arthritis of the ankle can lead to degenerative changes in the bone and articular cartilage and even to joint collapse.Timely diagnosis and correct treatment are important to avoid functional disability.
