Abstract
Tuberculous hand tenosynovitis is a rare localization of tuberculosis. It is dominated by flexor tendon involvement; tenosynovitis of the extensor tendons is exceptional. The diagnosis is usually delayed and sometimes overlooked because of the paucity and the chronicity of the symptoms and signs with the patients often seen at the stage of tendon rupture. We, hereby, report the case of a tuberculous tenosynovitis of the extensors of the left hand having evolved into a ruptured extensor tendons to the 4th and 5th digits. The surgical treatment in conjunction with the antituberculous drugs resulted in the healing of this condition.

Abstract
CASE We report the case of a 34-year-old African man who presented with severe symptoms of recurrent left carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and left hand swelling after previous open decompression. Considering the recurrent unilateral affection of the left hand in a patient working in a slaughterhouse in an area with a moderate burden for tuberculosis, tuberculous infection was suspected. Open surgery and biopsy revealed tuberculous tenosynovitis of flexor tendon sheath and shiny white rice bodies. CONCLUSION Tuberculous tenosynovitis should be considered as a differential diagnosis of the CTS when there is evidence of proliferative tenosynovitis in patients from an endemic area for tuberculosis.

Abstract
A woman in her 40s presented with a swelling over her left distal forearm and hand since 7 months, progressively increasing in size. She had history of difficulty in moving her wrist and fingers with no associated pain. She had no immune or chronic conditions except for hypothyroidism for which she was on regular medication. On examination, there was an 8×7 cm swelling on the radial side of the volar surface of her left distal forearm extending till the thenar eminence. MRI of the left upper limb was suggestive of a soft tissue swelling arising from the flexor tendon.The patient was planned for surgical excision of the swelling. Intraoperatively, there was a mass arising from the flexor tendons of flexor digitorum superficialis, flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and flexor pollicis longus (FPL), extending distally up to the mid palm region. On incising the flexor tendon sheath, it was observed that multiple yellowish rice like granules extended across the tendons. The lesion was excised completely and sent for histopathology examination. The lax FDP of little and ring fingers were plicated following proper tension adjustment and defect in FPL was primarily repaired. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well with no local wound complications. The biopsy report was suggestive of tuberculosis. The patient completed a course of antituberculosis treatment in 6 months.

Abstract
PURPOSE Clinical presentation of tuberculosis is pleomorphic. Some forms are rare and better known by surgeons than infectious disease specialists. METHODS We describe a rare case of isolated chronic tenosynovitis of the wrist due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a 66-year-old man and review similar cases in the literature. RESULTS On literature search, only 23 other cases of tuberculous tenosynovitis were retrieved. Our case is similar, with an insidious classical presentation. The diagnosis was suggested at the surgical presentation by the presence of rice body masses. CONCLUSION The diagnosis of tuberculous tenosynovitis should be considered in chronic tenosynovitis. Functional prognosis may be committed without adequate treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Synovial sheath involvement of the foot is a rare location of tuberculosis. Its diagnosis is often delayed because of the indolent and chronicity of the clinical features. OBSERVATION We report a case of bilateral tuberculous tenosynovitis of the anterior tibial and the common extensor of the toes, with uneventful outcome with antituberculous therapy. CONCLUSION Tuberculous tenosynovitis is uncommon but should be kept in mind in chronic tenosynovitis.
