Tuberculosis (tb) of the chest wall is uncommon and it represents less than 5% of all cases of musculoskeletal tb and only 1-2% of tb. We present the case of an elderly woman with tb of the chest wall secondary to a nodal tb with an unusual presentation. The diagnosis of this entity is difficult because the disease often mimics other diseases such as pyogenic abscess, chest wall.
胸壁结核并不常见，在所有肌肉骨骼结核病例中占比不到5%，在结核病中仅占1 - 2%。我们报告一例老年女性病例，该患者因淋巴结结核继发胸壁结核，表现不寻常。该疾病的诊断较为困难，因为它常与其他疾病如化脓性脓肿、胸壁疾病相混淆。
