“…Solitary cystic tuberculosis of a long tubular bone commonly involves the metaphyseal region and the reported most commonly involved sites have been proximal and distal parts of the femur and tibia [1,2,4,5,7]. These common locations were also observed in the present study.…”

Five children (mean age 3.4 years) with solitary cystic tuberculosis of proximal femur or proximal tibia were treated by surgical debridement and curettage combined with anti-tuberculosis anti-biotherapy. The mean follow-up period was 4.3 years and clinical and radiological healing was observed in all cases. It was concluded that solitary cystic tuberculosis of long tubular bones, which was a rare manifestation in children, should be kept in mind especially for metaphyseal lesions in the lower limbs and should be differentiated from several osseous lesions including infections and bone tumours.

“…In children, metaphyseal tuberculous osteomyelitis is the usual initial pathology and then the infection crosses the epiphyseal plate into the joint. 51 In adults, the primary pathology starts with seeding of synovium of the joint by the bacilli. This results in joint effusion.…”
