Atypical clinical presentation can contribute to delayed diagnosis and the risk of serious complications. Case report :We report the case of a 36-year-old patient who presented with gait disturbances and pain in the pubic region, radiating to the right inguinal fold. A fistulous collection was present on the medial aspect of the root of the right thigh, producing pus. Pelvic radiographs, supplemented by a CT scan, showed destructive osteoarthropathy of the pubic symphysis. Microbiological tests did not isolate any microorganisms. Tuberculosis of the pubic symphysis was made after biopsy and histological examination, revealing a caseating granuloma surrounded by epithelioid cells. The patient underwent antitubercular treatment for 9 months. Following this treatment, clinical improvements were noted, and no recurrence was observed during the 2-year follow-up period. In summary, early detection of cases upon presentation is facilitated by increased awareness of the disease. Early diagnosis and intervention play a crucial role in effective treatment, ultimately contributing to a reduction in morbidity and prevention of deformities. ) [rank_math_internal_links_processed] => Array ( [0] => 1 ) [ple-content_has_sections] => Array ( [0] => ) [_eael_post_view_count] => Array ( [0] => 16 ) [trx_addons_post_views_count] => Array ( [0] => 14 ) [ekit_post_views_count] => Array ( [0] => 14 ) [trx_addons_post_likes_count] => Array ( [0] => 0 ) )
