Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Tuberculosis is known for its protean nature, when it comes to its presentation. This case is an affirmation of the above statement .Skeletal tuberculosis (T.B.) accounts for 10% to 35% of cases of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis of which 0.2_1.37 % of tuberculosis are of skull. Tuberculosis of skeletal system is well documented but reports of primary calvarial lesions are rare .1 Tuberculosis of bone may evade diagnosis for a long time , as it usually remains silent till either involvement of a tissue swelling , due to cold abscess formation. Lytic lesions of skull are generally attributed to metastasis or multiple myeloma and rarely tuberculosis is implicated as a cause .A case of tuberculosis presenting with osteolytic soft tissue swelling of skull in a 15 years old female is reported here.
