Rice bodies in the ankle-a case of isolated tubercular tenosynovitis.

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.
