  • Title: Mycobacterium malmoense infection. An unusual cause of wrist swelling.
    Author: Syed AA, O'Flanagan J.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Br; 1998 Dec; 23(6):811-2. PubMed ID: 9888690.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of non-tuberculous tenosynovitis of the wrist caused by Mycobacterium malmoense. The patient presented with a ganglion-like swelling on the flexor aspect of the wrist. The diagnosis was confirmed by fine needle aspiration biopsy. A satisfactory resolution was obtained by antibiotic therapy alone, indicating that radical synovectomy may not be necessary in all cases of M. malmoense infection.
