Calvarial tuberculosis, a rare form of the disease, can present as a painless nodule. This case highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis granulomas in differential diagnoses for such presentations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Pathology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health challenge, particularly in developing nations.
  • Calvarial tuberculosis, affecting the skull bone, is an uncommon manifestation of TB.

Observation:

  • A 49-year-old female presented with a painless nodule on her occiput.
  • Initial clinical presentation did not immediately suggest a diagnosis of tuberculosis.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination of the nodule revealed characteristic tuberculosis granulomas.
  • Computed tomographic (CT) findings, though rarely reported for calvarial TB, are crucial for diagnosis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of including calvarial tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of occipital masses.
