dc.description.abstractA twenty year old man presented with pain in the upper part of right hip. CT scan showed multiple osteolytic areas in the right ilium, suggesting malignancy. CT guided needle biopsy was done and diagnosis of tuberculosis was made. The patient was cured with medical management only. Isolated tuberculosis of the ilium is an extremely rare condition. It is important to have a high clinical suspicion to diagnose early and manage the patient without surgical intervention.en_US
