We present the case of an otherwise healthy female hairdresser of Brazilian origin who started to have pain and swelling in her left arm. An antecubital abscess was surgically treated at another institution and there was good initial wound healing. Swelling then recurred and fistulae appeared in the scar. Our diagnostic workup revealed an isolated intramuscular tuberculous abscess, which was successfully treated by an antituberculous drug regimen.
