    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health concern, primarily affecting the lungs but capable of extra-pulmonary manifestations.
    • Skeletal tuberculosis, though less common, can present with destructive bone lesions, posing diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms of wrist and neck pain.
    • Radiographic imaging revealed destructive lesions in multiple carpal bones and cervical vertebrae.

    Findings:

    • Surgical exploration of the carpal lesion confirmed tuberculous etiology.
    • The patient's condition demonstrated a positive response to chemotherapy, with healing observed at both the wrist and cervical spine sites.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of destructive bone lesions, even in non-pulmonary sites.
    • Effective chemotherapy can lead to successful treatment outcomes for skeletal tuberculosis, emphasizing the need for timely diagnosis and intervention.
