Publication date: Available online 13 May 2019Source: Current Medicine Research and PracticeAuthor(s): Manuj Sondhi, Nakul Gupta, Atul Kakar, Atul GogiaAbstractExtensive skeletal involvement in any elderly is highly suspicious of malignancy. A simultaneous occurrence of lesions elsewhere strengthens the case for a detailed search of the primary cause. Despite the numerous advanced modalities at our disposal, differentiating between malignant, infectious, and inflammatory lesions often presents a diagnostic dilemma. Here, we report a case of an elderly gentleman who presented to us with multiple bony lesions. A further evaluation revealed a concomitant adrenal and liver involvement mimicking metastasis which later was found to be disseminated tuberculosis.
