Abstract
A case of multifocal cystic tuberculosis is presented, affecting the clavicle and the iliac bones with considerable soft tissue involvement. It was found in a 34-year-old male, an immigrant from Yemen. The extensive cystic nature of both lesions and the lack of systemic manifestations despite multifocal disease are unusual.
