Abstract EN
A 65-year-old female had a history of tuberculosis of the left greater trochanter 30 years ago.
She underwent 6 months of chemotherapy after which the disease healed completely.
Currently she presented to us with pain and swelling on the lateral aspect of left hip of 2-month duration.
Clinical and radiological findings were suggestive of a recurrence.
Biopsy was conclusive for tuberculosis.
She was successfully treated with debridement and curettage with chemotherapy for 1 year.
Recurrent tuberculosis of the greater trochanter is rare and should be aggressively treated.
