We report an exceptional association of metacarpal and clavicular tuberculosis in a two-year-old child with SAFA2 sickle cell disease. We emphasize the role of imaging (X-ray and CT scan) in this work. The definitive diagnosis is confirmed by the pathological examination of biopsy samples. This loca...

Zusammenfassung:	We report an exceptional association of metacarpal and clavicular tuberculosis in a two-year-old child with SAFA2 sickle cell disease. We emphasize the role of imaging (X-ray and CT scan) in this work. The definitive diagnosis is confirmed by the pathological examination of biopsy samples. This location should be known in endemic tuberculosis areas.
