title: [Shoulder pain revealing tuberculosis of the humerus].
abstract: Tuberculous spondylitis is the most common form of musculoskeletal tuberculosis. However, extraspinal manifestations have been described with tuberculosis of the wrist, femur, foot or shoulder, as in the patient presented. Because of an often-indolent clinical presentation, the diagnosis is delayed and antituberculous treatment is not able to prevent serious bone destruction.
