Abstract:

A case of tuberculous trochanteric bursitis in a 40-year old man is reported. The findings of x-rays, echo, bone scanning, CT scan and MRI are shown. After one month of anti-TB therapy the bursa was excised en bloc as well as the lateral part of the trochanter. Then a continuous suction irrigation system was applied for 3 weeks using streptomycin solution. The anti-TB therapy was continued for one year. The patient was asymptomatic with no signs of recurrence 5 years postoperatively.
