Osteoarticular tuberculosis (TB), an uncommon form of extrapulmonary TB, is a universal mimicker and thus represents a potential differential diagnosis of any osteolytic lesion. The present study describes a case of multifocal osteoarticular TB in an immunocompetent young man who presented with swelling and extremity pain. The patient underwent plain radiography, bone scan and magnetic resonance imaging. A diagnosis was ultimately made based on the pathology results from his second left toe. The patient responded well to anti-TB medication. The radiological findings of multifocal osteoarticular TB are described in this report. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of multifocal osteoarticular TB symmetrically affecting all the extremities.
