Isolated tuberculous abscess in longissimus muscle
TLDR
Tuberculous abscess of longissimus muscle in a young immunocompetent female is presented, and TB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any unexplained soft-tissue swelling in people born in tubercular endemic areas.Abstract:
Muscle's tuberculosis (TB) without coexistent active skeletal involvement is very rare. We presented a case of tuberculous abscess of longissimus muscle in a young immunocompetent female. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-circumscribed lesion in the longissimus muscle. No bony abnormality was noticed. An ultrasound-guided biopsy revealed the presence of granulomatous features on cytological pathology. A good response was seen with antitubercular treatment. TB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any unexplained soft-tissue swelling in people born in tubercular endemic areas. To the best of our knowledge, our observation is the third reported case in immunocompetent patient.read more

Soft tissue tuberculosis detected by next-generation sequencing: A case report and review of literature
TL;DR: In this paper , a 44-year-old man presented with recurrent swelling and ulcers on the left thigh. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested a soft tissue abscess, which was surgically removed and tissue biopsy and culture were performed; however, no organism growth was detected.

TL;DR: Tuberculous disease of bones and joints is becoming uncommon, it still occurs and may cause devastating sequelae and an aggressive approach is needed to confirm the diagnosis when there are no other clues.
