Skeletal tuberculosis affecting ribs and ulna is uncommon. Diagnosing extrapulmonary tuberculosis in unusual sites can be challenging due to delayed or missed diagnoses.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Skeletal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare form of the disease.
  • Extravertebral TB, particularly osteomyelitis in uncommon locations, presents diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A rare case of tuberculous osteomyelitis affecting two right ribs and the left ulna simultaneously is presented.
  • The patient's symptoms were relatively indolent, contributing to diagnostic delays.

Findings:

  • Extrapulmonary tuberculosis involving unusual skeletal sites can mimic other conditions.
  • Diagnostic delays are common in cases of osteomyelitis with atypical presentations.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of osteomyelitis, even in non-vertebral sites.
