Tuberculous spondylitis can cause cold abscesses, but soft tissue abscesses without bone involvement are rare. This case highlights a rare presentation of tuberculosis, emphasizing the need for broader diagnostic considerations.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Skeletal System and Musculoskeletal Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Cold abscesses are commonly associated with bone tuberculosis, specifically tuberculous spondylitis and osteomyelitis.
  • The formation of soft tissue tuberculous abscesses without underlying bone infection is considered uncommon.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare clinical case of a soft tissue abscess caused by tuberculosis.
  • The abscess occurred in the soft tissues, with no evidence of contiguous or direct bone involvement.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates a rare presentation of tuberculosis presenting as an isolated soft tissue abscess.
  • Diagnostic challenges may arise due to the atypical location of the tuberculous abscess.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue abscesses, even without apparent bone lesions.
  • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for extrapulmonary tuberculosis in diverse clinical settings.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and diagnostic markers for soft tissue tuberculous abscesses may be warranted.
