“…Most of bursitis generally belong to either bursal calcinosis or septic bursitis occuring at olecranon and prepatellar region. Bursal calcinosis type is sometimes accompanied with tuberculosis and staphylococcal infection, consisting of a large number of rice‐sized calcifications in the fluid 7,8 . Tuberculin test was negative, culture results of the fluid were negative, and calcificated crystals were not observed in our case.…”

Tuberculous bursitis of the greater trochanter mimicking ankylosing spondylitis

Tuberculous trochanteric bursitis (TTB) is a rare condition that accounts for 1% of musculoskeletal tuberculosis cases. Extrapulmonary TB is usually diagnosed late because of reduced diagnostic suspicion, particularly in the absence of signs of systemic infection. Herein, we report a case of right hip pain that was misdiagnosed as ankylosing spondylitis. The patient had a history of inflammatory back pain with morning stiffness. However, HLA-B27 was negative. Sacroiliac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a giant multiloculated collection (27×16×10 cm). Percutaneous drainage was performed and Mycobacterium tuberculosis was observed in fluid culture. The patient was treated by drainage along with antituberculosis therapy. After 1 year of antituberculosis therapy, control MRI revealed total resolution of the large fluid collection. It is important to emphasize that fever or general symptoms are absent in patients with TTB, as observed in the present case. In endemic countries, TTB should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of a patient presenting with chronic hip pain without fever, weight loss, and constitutional symptoms.

“…Tuberculous tenosynovitis most commonly involves tendons of the hand and wrist, whereas tuberculosis bursitis occurs most commonly around the hip. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Tuberculous trochanteric bursitis is rare. [2][3][4] Out of 147 patients with tuberculosis of the bursal sheath, 29 were in the trochanteric bursa, 21 in the bursa anserius, 18 in the compound plantaris bursa, 14 in the radial long flexor sheath, 10 in the ulnar long flexor sheath, 14 in the deltoid bursa, 8 in the ankle flexor tendon, 4 in the peroneal tendon, one in the wrist extensor tendon, 2 in the ankle extensor tendons, and 26 in All imaging modalities can help make the diagnosis, [5][6][7] even when repeated cultures are negative.…”
