Isolated tuberculosis of a skeletal muscle.
A case is described of tuberculosis in the muscle belly of abductor pollicis longus in a 25-year-old Asian woman. The complaint was of swelling and, as there was no evidence of tuberculosis elsewhere, the diagnosis was not made until the lump was explored surgically.
