description Scapular involvement in childhood tuberculosis (TB) is rare. To date, only eight cases are reported in the literature in children aged <18 years. We report a case of isolated scapular TB in a 7-year-old boy who presented with swelling and pain over right shoulder and was suspected to have malignancy based on the X-ray findings. Magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive of erosive lesion of whole scapula with normal shoulder joint, humerus and spine and conglomerate axillary lymph nodes. Histopathology and TB culture were diagnostics of TB. Patient was started on anti-TB treatment and doing well on follow-up.
