Introduction:
This is the first reported case of Mycobacterium parascrofulaceum extensor tenosynovitis.
Case Report:
A 79-year-old male presented with a left dorsal wrist mass that had been present for 8 months. Operative debridement and tenosynovectomy resulted in cultures positive for M. parascrofulaceum. His infection was successfully treated with a four drug anti-mycobacterial regimen.
Conclusion:
Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for atypical infection when treating extensor tenosynovitis that does not respond to standard treatment.
