This disease is rare in non-tropical areas, and PM caused by Mycobacterium is very rare in a non-immunocompromised person. The presence of temporal area swelling may lead to a differential diagnosis toward more common pathologies, such as a complication of mastoiditis or a neoplasm of the temporal area. This article describes a case of tuberculous pyomyositis in a non-immunocompromised woman, the diagnosis of which was confirmed by sonographically guided fine-needle aspiration.Biopsy, Needle; Sonography, Sound; Temporal Muscle; Tomography, X-Ray Computed; Tuberculosis[SDGs]SDG3amoxicillin; clavulanate potassium; ethambutol; isoniazid; pyrazinamide; rifampicin; tuberculostatic agent; adult; anamnesis; article; aspiration biopsy; case report; clinical examination; clinical feature; diagnostic procedure; disease severity; echography; female; human; immune deficiency; laboratory diagnosis; laboratory test; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; physical examination; pyomyositis; symptom; temporalis muscle; treatment outcome; tuberculosis; Adult; Diagnosis, Differential; Female; Humans; Immunocompetence; Polymyositis; Temporal Muscle; Tuberculosisjournal article10.1258/002221504322731673149799772-s2.0-1642457403
