Abstract
1. Eleven cases of tuberculosis of the pubis are described. 2. The disease is often of insidious onset, and symptoms vary from vague discomfort to incapacitating pain in the region of the symphysis and the groin. 3. Abscess formation is common and was present in nine of the eleven patients when they first attended. 4. The lesion has a good prognosis and responds well to simple curettage. 5. In this series operation, without bone grafting, has not been followed by pelvic instability or back pain.
