Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Skeletal tuberculosis (STB) comprises 1-5% of all tuberculosis cases.
  • Vertebral involvement occurs in 50% of STB, while rib involvement is rare (0.1%).
  • STB typically presents as a solitary lesion in 90-95% of cases.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare instance of multifocal skeletal involvement.
  • The patient presented with pulmonary tuberculosis.
  • The skeletal involvement was unexpectedly widespread across multiple sites.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates multifocal skeletal tuberculosis, a presentation infrequently documented.
  • Pulmonary tuberculosis was the co-occurring condition.
  • This challenges the typical presentation of localized skeletal tuberculosis.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering multifocal skeletal involvement in tuberculosis diagnostics.
  • Suggests a need for enhanced imaging protocols in specific tuberculosis cases.
  • Contributes to understanding the diverse clinical spectrum of tuberculosis infections.
