Isolated tuberculous peroneal tenosynovitis—A rare case report

Abstract

Tuberculous peroneal tenosynovitis is a rare disease. The disease develops insidiously, and there will be a progressive inflammation of tendon sheath with limitation of excursion of inflamed tendons. We report a case of a 55-year-old man who was initially diagnosed as tendon sheath giant cell tumor clinically and radiologically, and after biopsy, it turned out to be tuberculous peroneal tenosynovitis.
