Odd presentations of skeletal tuberculosis: A case series.

Tuberculosis has been afflicting mankind since times immemorial and yet can still present itself in such a disguised manner that even the bests of experts may be duped. Any site from head to toe can be affected but certain sites are far less common than the others. We came across three inconspicuous manifestations at atypical sites-parapharyngeal abscess, wrist joint and foot ulcer. No other primary site could be identified in any case. Two cases were diagnosed microbiologically and one with radiological evidence. All the three cases were medically managed and depicted positive response.
