Abstract
This is a case report that includes an analysis about extrapulmonary tuberculosis and his singularities, cause can be confused with cancer. Our patient an 83-year-old woman from Pasto-Colombia presents a mimicking metastasis with melanoma. This guides us to understand that extrapulmonary tuberculosis is a rare pathology, but it should be considered as a potential differential diagnosis of any osteolytic lesion. That is the reasons for to be one of the great imitators in medicine, we come up with are totally necessary in a differential diagnosis with malignancies, a high index of suspicion.
