Abstract
Musculoskeletal tuberculosis accounts for nearly 10% of all extra pulmonary cases with spine being the most common site. Tuberculosis involving the elbow joint is extremely rare accounting for less than 5% of all skeletal lesions. Early diagnosis and treatment is crucial to prevent serious joint and bone destruction. Here, we present a rare case of primary TB elbow joint in a 46 year old female.
