The radiological appearances of seven cases of rib tuberculosis are discussed. The combination of rib destruction and an extrapleural soft tissue opacity in an Asian immigrant makes tuberculosis a highly likely diagnosis. The presence of an associated fluctuant chest wall swelling, enables a diagnosis of tuberculosis to be made with confidence even in Caucasians.
本文讨论了7例肋骨结核的放射学表现。在亚洲移民中，肋骨破坏并伴有胸膜外软组织混浊，使结核病成为极有可能的诊断。即使在白种人中，若伴有胸壁波动性肿胀，也可确诊为结核病。
