Tuberculosis presenting as a soft tissue mass is rare. The diagnosis should be considered in patients with radiographic findings of massive soft tissue swelling and cortical bone destruction. Such patients may present with few clinical findings and have no evidence of prior exposure to tuberculosis or history of immunosuppression. Computed tomography may be of use in distinguishing infection from malignancy.
表现为软组织肿块的结核病很罕见。对于有大量软组织肿胀和皮质骨破坏影像学表现的患者，应考虑作出该诊断。这类患者可能临床症状较少，且无既往接触结核病史或免疫抑制史。计算机断层扫描可能有助于区分感染与恶性肿瘤。
