Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis presents as simultaneous osteoarticular lesions in multiple sites. Early radiologic diagnosis is crucial to differentiate it from other conditions and avoid treatment delays.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis involves osteoarticular lesions at two or more sites simultaneously.
  • Tuberculosis is a global health concern, particularly endemic in certain regions.
  • Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective management of skeletal tuberculosis.

Observation:

  • This study presents radiologic findings in two cases of multifocal osteoarticular tuberculosis.
  • Radiologic modalities were used to visualize and characterize the bone and joint lesions.
  • The cases highlight the diverse presentations of multifocal skeletal tuberculosis.

Findings:

  • Radiologic findings in multifocal skeletal tuberculosis can mimic other serious conditions.
  • Differential diagnoses include metastatic disease, eosinophilic granuloma, and lymphoma.

  • The imaging features are critical for guiding further diagnostic workup.

    • Implications:

    • Prompt and accurate radiologic diagnosis is vital to prevent delayed treatment.
    • Increased awareness of multifocal skeletal tuberculosis is needed, especially in endemic populations.
    • Radiology plays a key role in the early identification and management of this condition.
