Countries with tuberculosis as an endemic disease face many challenges. Isolated tubercular tenosynovitis is a rare presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and involvement of the ankle is even rare. We present a case of isolated tubercular tenosynovitis of the ankle, the diagnosis of which was suggested radiologically and confirmed by histopathology. Clinicians dealing with tuberculosis infected patients need to be aware of such rare presentations for proper diagnosis and management.
结核病流行的国家面临许多挑战。孤立性结核性腱鞘炎是肺外结核的罕见表现，踝关节受累更为罕见。我们报告了一例踝关节孤立性结核性腱鞘炎，其诊断是放射学提示，并通过组织病理学证实。处理结核感染患者的临床医生需要意识到这种罕见的表现，以便进行正确的诊断和治疗。
