Fingers are an uncommon location of osteoarticular tuberculosis. We report herein a case affecting the thumb in an 8-year-old boy. He presented painful swelling of the right thumb, which had a tumoral aspect and had been evolving for 3 months with general signs of tuberculosis impregnation. Bacteriology and biopsy findings confirmed the diagnosis. Medical treatment yielded satisfactory results. The particular features of care are discussed in the context of a developing country and in relation to the data in the literature.
