Abstract
The 10th reported case of tuberculosis of the subdeltoid bursa is described. A 45-year-old Caucasian woman presented with a 30-year clinical history of subdeltoid bursitis, with typical physical signs, but with normal X-rays of the shoulder-joint region and lungs. The diagnosis was made by needle aspiration and was later confirmed by bacteriologic and histological examination of the surgical specimen. Following surgery and chemotherapy, the patient has remained free of any active tuberculosis disease for the past five years.
