… Histological examination of the specimen showed a characteristic tubercular lesion with
dystrophic calcification (Figure 2). … All the four cases posed clinical and radiological diagnostic
problems and the tuberculous nature of the lesions was revealed only after exploration and
histopathological examination. Even though tuberculosis in general and osteoarticular
tuberculosis in particular is very common in our country, such extensive dystrophic calcification
is very unusual and to our knowledge has not been described earlier in the literature. …
Four patients with extensive dystrophic calcification, in osteoarticular tubercular lesions of relatively short duration, are described. All lesions healed satisfactorily after treatment with antitubercular drugs combined in some cases with en bloc excision.
