Abstract

Tenosynovitis secondary to nontuberculous mycobacterium is seen rarely in an immunocompetent host. The flexor tendons of the fingers, wrist and forearm are frequently affected sites. Mycobacterial infection must be included in the differential diagnosis of chronic swelling of the wrist and fingers in order to prevent inappropriate surgery. In this case report, we present a patient complaining of intermittent attacks of tenosynovitis who received multiple synovectomy operations due to misdiagnosis and mistreatment.

Özet

İmmünokompetan kişilerde, nontüberküloz mikobakterilere sekonder tenosinovit gelişmesi nadiren görülür. Sıklıkla parmak fleksör tendonlar, bilek ve önkol tutulumu görülmektedir. El bileği ve parmaklarda kronik şişliği olan hastaların ayırıcı tanısına mikobakteriyel enfeksiyonların dahil edilmesi, gereksiz operasyonları engelleyebilir. Bu olgu sunumunda, yanlış tanı-tedavi sonucu tekrarlayan tenosinovit atakları olan, bu sebeple çoklu sinoviyektomi operasyonu geçiren bir hasta bildirilmiştir.
