    Abstract:
    We report an exceptional case of tuberculosis in an 8-year-old girl. The focus of infection was situated in the anterior muscle compartment of the left thigh. Diagnosis was established on the basis of histological findings. A 12-month antituberculosis regimen was given. Outcome was good with no general or functional sequelae. Based on this case and data reported in the literature, we discuss the routes of dissemination of the Koch bacillus explaining this unusual sporadic localization.
