Abstract

A 65-year-old male with peripheral neuropathy and small lymphocytic lymphoma presented with erythema and edema of the left foot. A Charcot midfoot was diagnosed and treated with a total contact cast and restricted weight bearing. However, subsequent analysis of bone and synovial fluid months later revealed Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
