Introduction: Tubercular flexor tenosynovitis is an infrequent condition, which has a mixed clinical picture, but with careful examination and investigation, it should be diagnosed earlier before the involvement of underlying bones and nerves. Case Report: We present a case of a 69-year-old man who came with complaints of progressive swelling over the palm and forearm. He was presented as compound palmar ganglion but finally diagnosed as a case of chronic flexor tenosynovitis with association of carpal tunnel syndrome of tubercular origin without involvement of the underlying bones and was treated by complete excision and antitubercular therapy. Conclusion: Tuberculous flexor tenosynovitis is a condition that can be managed by excision and antitubercular therapy. However, it presents as a challenge to the surgeons when the presentation is very late. Hence, early identification and treatment are the main goals of this article. |
