Abstract
Two patients with an osteolytic lesion of the greater trochanter suggesting a malignant bone tumor are presented. Biopsy, microbiological and histological examination suggested a diagnosis of trochanteric tuberculosis. Treatment consisted of multiple surgical debridements and antituberculous chemotherapy. The incidence of similar cases is expected to increase with the rising incidence of tuberculosis
