Soft tissue tuberculosis is one of the rare forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Furthermore, isolated muscular tuberculosis is exceptional. We here report the original case of a young immunocompetent patient with isolated muscular tuberculosis involving major pectoralis muscle. The diagnosis was mainly based on histology. The patient was successfully treated with anti bacterial therapy only. This rare case study has been combined with a literature review.
软组织结核是肺外结核的罕见形式之一。此外,孤立性肌肉结核更是罕见。我们在此报告一例原本健康的年轻患者发生累及胸大肌的孤立性肌肉结核的病例。诊断主要基于组织学检查。该患者仅通过抗菌治疗即获成功治愈。本罕见病例报告还结合了文献综述。
