Zusammenfassung:Tuberculosis affects much of the world's population, and 1-5% of all cases are musculoskeletal. Tuberculosis of the soft tissues secondary to underlying bone involvement is not uncommon, but selective tissue involvement without bony abnormality is rare. We present a case in which two tubercular abscesses presented at an unusual site with no underlying bony involvement, simulating a pyogenic abscess. S Afr J CH 2013;7(2):77-78. DOI:10.7196/SAJCH.578
