Abstract

Localization of bone tuberculosis in various long and flat bones as either a single focus or multiple foci has been described, but no case concerning the fibular head has been reported. In this study, a case of tuberculous osteomyelitis of the fibular head in 22-year-old male was reported. The early diagnosis of tuberculous osteomyelitis is important. Lack of familiarity with and awareness of tuberculosis may lead to delay in diagnosis. Bone lesions may present in a bizarre fashion and mimic other diagnosis. Biopsy is often necessary.

Özet

Tek yada çok sayıda uzun ve/veya yassı kemiği etkileyen tüberküloz osteomiyelitin, izole olarak fibula başına yerleşmesiyle ilgili İngilizce bir yayına rastlanılmamıştır. Bu makalede, 22 yaşındaki bir erkek hastada fibula başına yerleşmiş tüberküloz osteomiyeliti olgusu sunulmaktadır. Tüberküloz osteomiyelitin erken tanısı önemlidir, çünkü önemli kemik ve eklem hasarına neden olur. Osteomiyelit nedenleri arasında ilk planda akla gelmemesi ve kemik lezyonlarının radyolojik olarak başka hastalıklara benzemesi nedeniyle tanıda gecikme olabilir. Bu nedenle biopsi çoğu zaman gereklidir.
