Granulomatous spondylodiscitis: A case series with focus on histopathological features.

CONCLUSION: Granuloma with caseous necrosis is highly suggestive of TS but does not rule out FS. Certain fungi can exhibit this type of necrosis as do tuberculosis species. Suppurative inflammation, although rare in TS, does exist. Histiocytic type granuloma without necrosis is suggestive of brucellosis. PMID: 31012811 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
