Infectious tuberculous tenosynovitis (TS) is an unusual occurrence in the forearm, wrist, or hand. Here we report a case of tuberculous TS of the wrist in a 26-year-old male with no comorbidities. The patient presented with a nonhealing ulcer on the palmar aspect of the proximal part of the left little finger with restricted mobility. There were no other symptoms to confirm the existence of an active tuberculosis infection in this patient. This case report helps broaden our knowledge about the different presentations of tuberculous TS in a patient with no history of exposure to tuberculosis.
感染性结核性腱鞘炎(TS)在前臂、腕部或手部并不常见。在此,我们报告一例26岁无合并症男性的腕部结核性TS病例。患者左手小指近端掌侧有一不愈合溃疡,活动受限。该患者无其他症状可证实存在活动性结核感染。本病例报告有助于拓宽我们对无结核接触史患者结核性TS不同表现的认识。
