Abstract :

Skeletal muscle tuberculosis without underlying osseous or extra osseous involvement is an extremely rare presentation of tuberculosis. We present a case of isolated tubercular abscess of the adductor and Vastus compartments of thigh without an evident primary focus in a 55 year old immunocompetent male. The diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination. The patient was managed by non dependent suction drainage under ATT coverage.
