“…They are characterised by an insidious onset leading to a delay in diagnosis and are manifested by a soft swelling that rarely fluctuates, rarely suggesting an infectious origin, with fistulisation of the skin in the later forms. Tuberculous abscesses are often single, but may present with two or more sites [ 5 , 6 , 9 ]. Medical imaging is useful for diagnosis, although the radiological presentation of subcutaneous tuberculous cold abscesses is non-specific.…”

“…Ultrasound can be used to determine the echogenicity of a swelling seen on clinical examination. CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to study the locoregional extension of the abscess and to search for other locations that are inaccessible on clinical examination [ 5 , 6 , 9 ]. In our case, the patient was known to have MPT + pulmonary tuberculosis in the second phase of her anti-tuberculosis treatment, the liquid nature of the two fronto-glabellar and cervical swellings was confirmed by cranio-cervicofacial CT scan which eliminated the presence of other deep anomalies.…”

“…The association of anti-tuberculosis treatment with surgery is recommended in order to reduce local recurrence. Anti-tuberculosis treatment protocol includes an initial phase of two months of quadruple therapy: Rifampicin (10mg/kg/d) + Isoniazid (5mg/kg/d) + Pyrazinamide (20–30 mg/kg/d) + Ethambutol (15–20 mg/kg/d), followed by dual therapy: Rifampicin + Isoniazid for a total duration of treatment of 9–12 months [ [2] , [5] , [6] , [9] ]. In our case, surgical drainage of both abscesses was performed immediately after confirmation of the diagnosis with maintenance of anti-tuberculosis treatment for a total period of 12 months.…”

Introduction Subcutaneous tuberculous cold abscesses represent a rare form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis and their cervicofacial localization is exceptional. The management of this unusual form and location is medico-surgical and must be adapted to avoid progression to complications. Case report We report the case of a double cervicofacial localization of subcutaneous tuberculous cold abscesses in an immunocompetent patient followed for pulmonary tuberculosis who benefited from a surgical drainage of the two abscesses with anti-tuberculosis treatment with good clinical evolution. Discussion The diagnosis of subcutaneous tuberculous cold abscesses is based on a combination of anamnestic, clinical and paraclinical findings. Cold abscesses are most commonly described in patients with disseminated tuberculosis or during human immunodeficiency virus infection, but they may also occur in immunocompetent subjects. Monofocal localization is the most common and the association of several localizations is unusual. The treatment is medical-surgical, combining surgical drainage with anti-tuberculosis treatment. Conclusion Subcutaneous tuberculous cold abscesses should be considered in the presence of any stubborn collection occurring in a context of tuberculosis infection. Early diagnosis is the best guarantee of a cure without complications.

“…It is important to discuss and especially eliminate certain pathologies in front of this table mainly of the sarcoma of the soft body parts, the hydatid cyst of the muscle, the myxomas and the hemangiomas. 11 The medical treatment is based on anti-bacillary antibiotherapy made by administering rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol and pyrazinamide for 2 months relayed by a dual therapy with rifampicin and Isoniazid. The duration of the dual therapy varies according to the authors from 4 to 9 months.…”

Isolated muscle tuberculosis: exceptional location

et al. 2018

<p class="abstract">The authors report the exceptional case of isolated muscular tuberculosis affecting the anterior compartment of the right thigh in a 38-year-old man. The diagnosis was based on histology and GeneXpert. The subject received a surgical treatment followed by medical treatment for 6 months. The GeneXpert test has proved to be useful in the diagnosis of muscular tuberculosis. We have not found in the literature the use of GeneXpert in this type of localization of tuberculosis whose diagnostic is not always easy. Through the study of this case and a review of the literature, the authors review the pathogenesis of this particular affection as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>
