    Diaphyseal bony tuberculosis is often misdiagnosed due to its rarity and co-occurring infections like staphylococcus. This case highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis even in patients who may seem protected from the disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Diaphyseal bony tuberculosis is an uncommon condition.
    • Diagnosis can be delayed due to its rarity and potential misdiagnosis as osteomyelitis.

    Observation:

    • A case of diaphyseal bony tuberculosis is presented.
    • The diagnosis was prolonged due to the perceived rarity of the condition and the presence of Staphylococcus, which suggested osteomyelitis.

    Findings:

    • Bony tuberculosis can affect various patient populations, including immigrants and those in seemingly low-risk environments.
    • Both unifocal and multifocal forms of bony tuberculosis can occur.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for bony tuberculosis, even in atypical presentations or when co-infections are present.
