Abstract

Tuberculosis infections in developing countries like Vietnam are currently the one of the most challenging problems. Among musculoskeletal involvement, upper limb affection is relatively rare. A 46 year-old female patient came to our department of Upper Limb Surgery because of a progressive swelling of her Right wrist in six months with no response to oral anti-inflammatory medications. Two years before, she had a surgery to treat her carpal tunnel syndrome of the same wrist with a satisfactory result. On clinical examination, beside a scar from previous operation, a 3 x 4 cm lump with well define margin and normal overlaying skin was noticed. Blood tests were normal except a rise of ESR and C-reacitve protein. Ultrasound suspected a ganglion of the wrist.
