Abstract:
We report a case of a large soft tissue sinus in the leg that apparently followed a minor trauma. The sinus persisted despite being excised twice and seven months of anti-tuberculosis treatment. The latter was given on the basis of the histopathology report that showed chronic inflammation which could have been due to tuberculosis. A sinogram was done that revealed an nusually large sinus extending from below the ankle joint upto the level of head of fibula. Per-operatively the sinus was outlined by methylene blue. The sinography proved very fruitful. The complete excision resulted in permanent healing.
