Abstract
Tuberculous Tenosynovitis of Peroneal Tendon Sheath is an uncommon diagnosis for foot swellings.

It affecting the tendon sheath only is not so common and the reported cases of peroneal sheath tuberculosis tenosynovitis are very few as per literature. Hereby, we present a case report of Tuberculous Tenosynovotits of peroneal tendon sheath.
