    Abstract:
    Trochanteric tuberculosis is a rare disease (<2% of osteoarticular tuberculosis), even in high-endemic countries. It is characterized by insidious symptoms. For this reason, diagnosis is often delayed. The authors report a series of 9 cases, the diagnosis was made by bacteriological and histological examinations after imaging assessment (ultrasound, MRI, CT scan). The treatment of this disease is medical (anti-tuberculous antibiotic). Surgical treatment is usually reserved for complications and improves disease progression. La trochantérite tuberculeuse est une affection rare (<2% des tuberculoses ostéo-articulaires), même en pays à forte endémie, elle est caractérisée par une symptomatologie insidieuse rendant souvent son diagnostic tardif. Les auteurs rapportent une série de 9 cas, le diagnostic a été posé sur des études bactériologiques et histologiques après un bilan d'imagerie (échographie, IRM, TDM). Le traitement de cette affection est médical (antibiothérapie antituberculeuse), et la chirurgie ne trouve sa place qu'en cas de complications et permet d'améliorer l’évolution.
