Abstract:
This paper reports the experience of our orthopedic department with a case involving a mass over the left greater trochanter that had been developing over nine months. Radiological evaluation (standard radiography + MRI of the left hip) revealed a soft tissue collection over the left greater trochanter with multiple calcifications originating from the trochanteric region. Management included surgical drainage of the collection, resection of calcifications, and collection of samples for bacteriological analysis (PCR for Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA, which was negative) and histopathological examination. The histopathological findings confirmed a tuberculous infection, leading to the diagnosis of tuberculous trochanteritis.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
