| Popis: | Tuberculosis of the chest wall is a rare extrapulmonary localization, affecting mostly the immunocompromised and rarely the immunocompetent. Clinically, it presents as an abscessed collection or a tissue mass making the diagnosis difficult, especially in the absence of other signs, hence the interest of a bacteriological and/or histological confirmation. Extensive surgery accompanied by anti-bacillary chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. |
