[Pseudo-tumor digital tuberculosis: A case report and review of the literature].
We report a case of a 66-year-old woman, who was treated for a circumferential tumefaction of the middle phalanx of the third finger, evolving for one year. The excision-biopsy of the phalanx led to the diagnosis of an osseous tuberculosis. Through this exceptional case, the authors made a review of the literature on the clinical, radiological and evolutionary aspects of the digital osseous tuberculosis.
