Abstract
A case of tuberculosis of the greater trochanter was discovered upon i nvestigations for a cold abscess in the thigh. Plain roent-genograms a nd computed tomography showed lysis of the greater trochanter and a fl uid-filled mass in the soft tissues. Histologic examination of a bone specimen harvested during surgery confirmed the diagnosis of tuberculo sis. Outcome was favorable under antituberculous therapy.
