Primary thymic tuberculosis is rare in India, with only seven cases documented. This report details an unusual case of primary multilocular thymic tuberculosis in an HIV-negative Indian man.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Microbiology
  • Thoracic Pathology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant public health concern in India.
  • Primary thymic tuberculosis is an exceptionally rare manifestation of the disease.
  • Literature review identified only seven previously documented cases of primary thymic tuberculosis.

Observation:

  • This study presents a unique case of primary multilocular thymic tuberculosis.
  • The patient was a 30-year-old, HIV-seronegative Indian male.
  • Unusual clinical, radiological, and pathological findings were observed.

Findings:

  • The case highlights an uncommon anatomical location for tuberculosis.
  • The findings are significant in the context of increasing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence, which may lead to TB in atypical sites.

  • Multilocular thymic involvement by tuberculosis was confirmed pathologically.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in rare anatomical locations, even in HIV-negative individuals.
    • Increased awareness of primary thymic tuberculosis may improve diagnostic rates.
    • Further research into TB in uncommon sites is warranted, especially in regions with high TB and HIV burdens.
