RESUMO
Tuberculous tenosynovitis is an uncommon form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis occurring primarily in the hands and wrists with limited reports involving the lower extremities. We report a rare case of tuberculous tenosynovitis of the tibialis anterior tendon occurring in a 37-year-old Filipino male. The tendon was surgically debrided and the patient was given a six month course of antituberculin chemotherapy. At one year postoperatively, the patient has good function with no evidence of recurrence.
