Abstract
A rare case of extra pulmonary tuberculosis located in the ilium is presented. The incidence of tuberculosis in the Western European countries is decreasing. However, this decline is stagnating. This is probably due to a changing demography, increased intercontinental travelling possibilities and increasing immigrant flow to the Western European countries. The presented case was managed with multi-drug anti-tuberculosis therapy and several surgical interventions. When tuberculosis is diagnosed in an advanced stage abscess formation and cortical destruction are often present. These findings are related with a poor clinical outcome. The management of isolated osseous tuberculosis should be antibiotics with or without surgical interventions, but surgery can never be a substitute for medicinal therapy. Osseous tuberculosis should still be in every differential diagnosis when a patient, in particular an immigrant, has pain in the hip.
