Clavicular osteomyelitis: a rare presentation of extra pulmonary tuberculosis.

Clavicular tuberculosis is a rare entity, an unusual case of skeletal tuberculosis. We report a case of rare presentation of clavicular tuberculosis as a non-healing ulcer in the medial two-third and lateral one-third of the clavicle. The clinical picture was confusing because of the development of foul-smelling discharge due to secondary infection. The diagnosis is rarely suspected before biopsies because tumours are much more frequent than infections in this bone. With worldwide resurgence of tuberculosis, clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion as more infection at unusual sites is being reported.
