Abstract
The bone and joint tuberculosis is decreasing recently, because of the development of chemotherapy and preventive medicine. But it is not rare. The recently experienced cases, especially in their early stage, are very difficult to differenciate from primary tumor or metastatic tumor. We report about four cases of recently experienced bone and joint tuberculosis.Case 1. A woman aged 38 had right chest pain. The 6 th and 7 th rib and chest tumor excision was performed.Case 2. A woman aged 59 had a tumor of the back. Excision of the 11 th rib was performed.Case 3. A woman aged 53 had a right chest pain. Excision of tumor of the 6 th rib was performed.Case 4. A woman aged 45 had a lumbago and tumor in left thigh. Excision of the tumor was performed.We conbined operation and chemotherapy to all cases, and we got good results.
