Tuberculous osteomyelitis in condyle of mandible: A case report

Peripheral skeletal infections caused by Mycobacterium are widely reported in the literature. Unfamiliarity with this disease, or oversight caused by inexperience may result in failure to thoroughly investigate the presence of this organism. An unusual case of tuberculous osteomyelitis involving the second digit of the foot is presented. The authors emphasize the importance of including cultures of acid-fast bacillus in the work-up of atypical infectious processes of the foot and ankle, and include Mycobacterium in their differential until it is positively ruled out. An in-depth radiologic review is included.

Spread Of Infection

Sternal tuberculosis secondary to tuberculous mastitis is uncommon. The invasion of the sternum following a primary focus in the breast has not been reported. This may be due to the resistance offered by pectoral fascia and periosteum to the spread of infection into the bone. We present a case of tubercular sternal osteomtyelitis following tubercular mastitis in a 40-year old female. A brief case report and a review of literature are presented.
