Abstract:
Multifocal osteoarticular tuberculosis is uncommon and
accounts for approximately10% of all cases of osteoarticular tuberculosis. Concomitant vertebral and iliac bone tuberculosis has not been reported in the literature to date.
We report one such case for its unusual clinical and
radiological presentation, which had presentation more
similar to a malignant bone tumour than an infection.
