Scapular bone destruction: A case report of skeletal tuberculosis with a series of dynamic radiologic features

Tuberculosis (TB) is an extremely common opportunistic infection in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients. Pulmonary TB is the most common manifestation while skeletal TB, especially with an involvement of flat bone like scapula, is quite rare. We report the first case scapular TB in an advanced AIDS individual who was initially considered as lymphoma because of the faulty interpretation of the positivity of PET/CT scan. In this article, we present a series of dynamic radiologic data and emphasize the differential diagnostic of skeletal TB.
