    Tenosynovitis tuberculosa, a rare tuberculosis manifestation, was successfully treated with surgery and medication. This approach proved effective even when tuberculosis was the sole symptom or mimicked other conditions like multiple myeloma.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Tenosynovitis tuberculosa is a rare manifestation of tuberculosis.
    • It can present as the isolated form of the disease or mimic other conditions.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of tenosynovitis tuberculosa are presented.
    • One patient had tenosynovitis as the only tuberculosis manifestation.
    • The second patient presented with a normal chest X-ray, but bone marrow examination revealed epithelioid granulomas, necessitating a differential diagnosis of multiple myeloma.

    Findings:

    • Combined therapy involving surgery and a drug regimen for tuberculosis yielded positive outcomes.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

    Implications:

    • This case series highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of tenosynovitis, especially in endemic areas.
    • Combined surgical and pharmacological treatment is an effective strategy for managing tenosynovitis tuberculosa.
    • Further research into the diagnostic challenges and optimal treatment protocols for this rare condition is warranted.
