Abstract :

The tuberculosis of the hand and the wrist is a rare entity. It is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage of carpal destruction, due to slowly development of the symptoms. We report the case of a 54–year–old male, presenting as wrist pain for 2 months. Clinical study showed a local swelling in the left wrist, the mobility of the wrist was restricted and painful at the end of motion. The diagnosis of wrist TB synovitis was suspected after radiological and biological study then confirmed after histological study. Antibacillary chemotherapy during 12 months promoted healing and good outcome.
