Beschreibungen/Notizen
Tuberculosis remains a problem of public health, in spite of the numerous significant advances noted in the diagnosis in recent years. The involvement of the thoracic wall is a rare extra lung shape. Its clinical presentation is not specific and a collected thoracic tumefaction is the main clinical demonstration. The diagnosis is improved by the use of non-invasive tools such as the Xpert MTB/Rif® test with a good sensibility on the pus. Medical care is based on medical treatment and sometimes associated with surgical treatment.
