Abstract
The sternoclavicular joint is rarely involved in tuberculous infection. We have recently encountered a case of tuberculous arthritis of this joint. The clinical diagnosis was verified by histological study of a surgical specimen. Curettage combined with anti-tuberculous medication was successful. The literature on the disease was reviewed.
