Sumario:A 14-year-old girl presented with an insidious onset of left hip pain, limp, and intermittent fever for a 3-month duration. Patient had a history of toe walking since childhood which continued into adolescence. On radiographic investigations, she was found to have a dysplastic hip with fluid collection around the hip which was surgically drained. The microbiological investigations proved the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB). Accordingly, she was started on anti-TB chemotherapy as per drug sensitivity. TB infection in a previously neglected dysplastic hip is not reported as per our knowledge and poses unique diagnostic and management difficulties.
