Abstract
- Tuberculous tenosynovitis usually presents as a chronic, slowly progressive disease. It is difficult to detect in early phase and diagnosis frequently requires biopsy in addition to stain or culture. Authors describe a case who had a Marjolin's ulcer secondary to tuberculous tenosynovitis of the wrist.
