Abstract

Isolated tuberculous dactylitis is a rare form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis that frequently eludes assessment and constitutes diagnostic challenges. This case reminds physicians of keeping tuberculosis (TB) as a differential when dealing with chronic finger ulcers to avoid devastating consequences.
