Sternoclavicular Joint: A Case Report Primary Tuberculosis of the Sternoclavicular Joint: A Case Report

Yirmi-beş yaşındaki kadın hasta sağ sternoklavikular eklemde şişlik ve ağrı şikayeti ile başvurdu. Fizik muayenesinde sağ sternoklavikular eklemde şişlik ve hassasiyet saptandı. Manyetik rezonans görüntülemede bu bölgede kemik ve yumuşak dokuyu tutan kitlesel oluşum saptandı. Cerrahi debridman sonrası elde edilen materyalin histopatolojik incelemesi ile hastaya tüberküloz tanısı konularak, antitüberküloz ilaçlar ile tedavi edildi. Primer sternoklavikular eklem tüberkülozu, Mycobacterium tuberculosis basilinin neden olduğu oldukça nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Bu bölgede görülebilen diğer hastalıklarla karışabileceği için, tanı ve tedavide gecikmeler olabilmektedir.

Primer Sternoklavikular Eklem Tüberkülozu: Olgu Sunumu

A 25-year-old woman presented with the complaints of swelling and pain in the right sternoclavicular joint. Physical examination revealed swelling and tenderness of the right sternoclavicular joint. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass involving the bone and the adjacent soft tissues. The patient was diagnosed with tuberculosis based on the histopathological examination of the mass obtained with surgical debridement and was treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs. Primary tuberculosis of the sternoclavicular joint is an extremely rare disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacillus. It can be confused with other diseases which may affect this region, thereby, lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
