Chest wall tuberculosis is a relatively rare extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and is often difficult to diagnose and treat because of the lack of symptoms. The scapulothoracic joint is a special joint that does not have a joint capsule, cartilage, or synovial membrane but consists of muscle and bursa. Tuberculosis infection of the scapulothoracic joint is an extremely rare musculoskeletal tuberculosis of the chest wall. Herein, we present the diagnosis and treatment strategy for tuberculous scapulothoracic bursitis in an 82-year-old man who was successfully treated.
