We present a case of a 65-year-old Ghanaian female. She presented a progressively enlarging mass over the volar aspect of the right wrist and palm. She did not have a previous history of tuberculosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The interval to presentation ranged from 1 week to 2 years. Two patients had median nerve irritation, 3 patients had osteomyelitis, and 1 patient had flexor tendon rupture. [scholarbank.nus.sg]

Radiological assessment is often the first step in the diagnostic workup of patients with musculoskeletal TB and further investigations are decided by the findings on radiography. [faoj.org]

Imaging Obtain standard anteroposterior and lateral radiographs to rule out bony involvement or a foreign body. [1] See Workup for more detail. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Emergent treatment includes surgical debridement and the institution of early anti-TB therapy immediately after completing histopathological examination. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
