Abstract
Introduction: We describe a rare case of a patient with unilateral musculoskeletal manifestation of tuberculosis presented as bursitis of the left shoulder with rice bodies , without coexisting active tuberculosis or tuberculosis in the previous history.
Case Report: A 21 year old patient was examined, who complained of pain and swelling in the left shoulder for 2 years. MRI showed a large amount of rice bodies with joint effusion in the left shoulder with intact rotator cuff. The histological examination showed a tuberculosis-specific inflammatory response with giant cells and epithelioid granulomas . Arthroscopic debridement and removal of the loose bodies was done. A brief summary of the literature is given.
Conclusion: We report a unique case of tuberculous subdeltoid bursitis with rice bodies formation in absence of any other concomitant focus of tuberculous infection, managed with arthroscopic debridement and anti -tuberculous regimen with a long follow up of twelve months.
Keywords: Subdeltoid Bursitis;Rice bodies ;Arthroscopy.
