Abstract

Atypical and unusual presentations of tuberculosis have become a major diagnostic problem for health professionals. We describe a 30-year-old male patient with a tuberculosis abscess in the teres minor muscle. The patient was initially misdiagnosed due to this unusual presentation and the definitive diagnosis was only made after the histological examination of the drainage material. The patient responded to the anti-tuberculosis therapy and there was no recurrence after 4 years.

Özet

Sıradışı ve nadir klinik tablolarla ortaya çıkan tüberküloz olgularının tanısı sağlık çalışanları açısından önemli bir sorun oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmamızda teres minör kası içinde tüberküloz apsesi ile başvuran 30 yaşındaki bir erkek hastayı değerlendirdik. İlk değerlendirmelerinde doğru tanı konamayan hastanın tüberküloz tanısı ancak drenaj materyalinin histolojik incelemesi sonucunda konulabildi. Hasta anti-tüberkülöz tedaviye yanıt verdi ve 4 yıllık takip sonrasında tekrarlama görülmedi.
