Tuberculosis of symphysis pubis presenting as labial swelling: A rare case report diagnosed on FNAC.

ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis of symphysis pubis is a rare condition with few reported cases. It is necessary to distinguish the entity from Osteitis pubis and Osteomyelitis of pubic symphysis to start the treatment early and thereby minimize morbidity and prevent complications. A case report of tuberculosis of symphysis pubis mimicking labial swelling in a 25 year old female was described. High index of suspicion along with an extensive workup including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of pelvis and fine needle aspiration (FNA) of swelling led to the diagnosis. A brief case report and review of literature have presented here.
