This report introduces a 25-year-old woman suffering from chronic knee pain without any response to conservative treatments for one year. X-ray was normal but CT-scan and MRI indicated a small lesion in medial condyle of the femur. The patient underwent percutaneous CT-guided biopsy. Following an evaluation of the obtained sample, tuberculous osteomyelitis was detected. After resection of the femoral mass and starting anti TB medical treatment, symptoms dramatically eliminated. }, keywords = {Long bones,Osteomyelitis,Tuberculosis}, url = {https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_2085.html}, eprint = {https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_2085_a42003dfb2b3b15301cb984417feed6e.pdf} }
