Osteoarticular tuberculosis--a ten years case review.

Abstract
Extrapulmonary sites of tuberculosis must not be neglected as they are not so rarely fortuitous discovering. The morphological diagnosis of tuberculosis is generally easy to do. However, there are the atypical lesions rising diagnostic difficulties. The authors reviewed the histopathological diagnostic in 19 cases of osteoarticular tuberculosis lesions selected from 390 cases of surgical extrapulmonary granulomatous lesions, using for difficult cases, with atypical lesions, new diagnostic tools as immunohistochemistry and DNA amplification technique by the polymerase chain reaction.
