ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis in India has been a constant health issue. The revised national tuberculosis control program has suggested antitubercular drug regimens according to WHO guidelines for pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Here is an uncommon case of an adult presenting with a single lytic lesion of the lateral condyle of the femur; he had no history of primary foci of pulmonary tuberculosis and curettage of the lesion and histopathological examination of the bone tissue showed tubercular etiology. The patient, hence, was started on antitubercular drugs and at a six-month follow-up, resolution of the lesion was noticed.
