Abstract
- Tubercular osteomyelitis of mid-facial bones is extremely rare because of its immense vascular supply. Due to rare incidence, myriad presentation, and lack of specific symptoms, this condition presents a challenge in diagnosis and calls for acute clinical awareness. This article presents a case report of a 31-year-old martial artist with complaints of trauma to his right malar region since one month and a gradually increasing swelling below his right eye for 3 weeks without any discharge. A diagnosis of primary Tuberculosis of right zygomatic bone was made with the help of multiple diagnostic tools. The patient was treated with four drug anti-tubercular therapy and responded with complete recovery from disease.<br />Competing Interests: Declarations of Competing Interest None.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS.
