Tuberculosis affects pulmonary and extra-pulmonary sites with a multitude of differing presentations. The involvement of thoracic wall is a rare entity. We report the case of a patient who had a tumefaction on the right chest wall 6 months after a right breast mastectomy. After an initial radiological suspicion of malignancy, we detected intraoperatively an abscess in which histologic examination revealed granulomas with multinucleated giant cells.
结核病可累及肺部及肺外部位,表现形式多种多样。胸壁受累是一种罕见情况。我们报告一例患者,在右乳切除术后6个月,右胸壁出现肿块。最初影像学怀疑为恶性肿瘤,术中发现一个脓肿,组织学检查显示有含多核巨细胞的肉芽肿。
