“…Extension to the labia is exceptionally rare. Occasionally, an abscess may rupture into the urinary bladder and result in osteuria 10 and pyuria. 11 Vulvovaginal TB 12 may present as a labial swelling, though this usually has associated genital involvement, with a large mass, or discharging sinuses, involving bone only in the later stages.…”

Tuberculosis (TB), being a global health problem, represents variedly. Its presentation as a labial swelling secondary to pubic bone TB has been reported rarely in literature. We report a case of pubic bone TB presenting as a labial swelling in a woman of reproductive age. Early diagnosis with fine needle aspiration cytology, acid-fast bacillus (AFB) staining, AFB culture and magnetic resonance imaging with early initiation of treatment resulted in a favourable outcome.

“…Curettage [2,7,31,34,[36][37][38]44] and sequestrectomy [1,7,10,16,25,37] were the most commonly used procedures. The other surgical procedures such as abscess exploration, aspiration, fistula incision, abscess excision, pus drainage, pubic bone excision, and removal of the symphysis pubis, have been reported by many authors [5,6,13,16,25,29,34,35,37,42] to control the infection.…”

Background The incidence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) has increased in the chemotherapeutic era owing to the increasing presence of immunodeficiency disorders. Pubic symphysis TB, although uncommon, is again important as these infections once were in the prechemotherapeutic era. Case Description We present the cases of four patients with pubic symphysis TB in which one patient had a horseshoe-shaped abscess in the pubic region and another had a double lesion of the pelvis leading to vertical sheartype pathologic displacement. Three patients were diagnosed by cytology and PCR. These patients were treated successfully with antituberculosis treatment with or without minimal surgical intervention despite their late presentation and advanced disease. The fourth patient remains under treatment and followup. Literature ReviewWe identified 40 patients with TB of the pubic symphysis in the English language medical literature. Of these 40 patients, only five are from India despite TB being endemic in this country. Followup information is available for 32 of the 40 patients with followups ranging from 1 to 84 months (mean of approximataly 20 months).
