Tuberculosis is 1 of the most deadly diseases in the world. With an increase in the incidence of HIV worldwide, tubercular infections at unusual sites are being reported. Skeletal muscle tuberculosis without bony involvement is an extremely rare presentation of tuberculosis. A case of isolated tuberculosis of the vastus lateralis muscle without any evident primary focus in a 30-y-old immunocompetent female is presented. |
