We report a case of involvement of a finger flexor tendon by sarcoidosis. A review of twelve cases suggests that this is a rare manifestation of the illness that most often affects the finger extensors at the wrist. It tends to present in established sarcoidosis and is associated with a higher than usual incidence of polyarthritis. The main differential diagnosis would be tuberculous tenosynovitis. We suggest that a histological spectrum exists running from a predominantly cellular picture to one of fibrotic nodules, perhaps explaining previously described instances of pseudo-tumour. We would recommend tenosynovectomy in conjunction with corticosteroid therapy as the treatment of choice.

Infectious tuberculous tenosynovitis is an exceptional location of musculoskeletal tuberculosis involving exor tendon of the nger. The patient was a 38 year old female of tuberculous exor tendon presenting as a mass on the palmar aspect of the right hand & ring nger without any other pulmonary or extrapulmonary tubercular manifestation. This report highlights the occurrence of tuberculous tenosynovitis in our environment in patients with associated risk factors for early diagnosis and treatment.

Mycobacterial tuberculous tenosynovitis of the hand is a rare manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, while mycobacterial tuberculous tenosynovitis of the extensor tendon sheath is extremely rare. We report a case of tuberculous tenosynovitis of the extensor tendon of the finger, occurring in a man receiving immunosuppression following a liver transplantation. Symptoms improved clinically after conservative treatment with anti-tuberculous drugs.
