Abstract
Case: A 16-month-old male child presented with swelling over the dorsolateral aspect of the right foot associated with limp and no other constitutional symptoms. Tenderness and swelling were noted over the dorsolateral aspect, and radiographs revealed an eccentric lytic expansile lesion in the right cuboid. Biopsy of the lesion revealed necrotizing granulomas, and molecular testing later documented tuberculosis. The child received antitubercular medications and was relieved of symptoms in 6 weeks. Complete healing was observed after 12 months.
Conclusion: In developing countries, a high index of suspicion helps in the early diagnosis and appropriate management of tubercular osteomyelitis in children.
