[Tuberculosis Abscess of the Chest Wall on an Immunocompetent Patient in the Teaching Hospital of Dakar (Senegal)]. Bull Soc Pathol Exot. 2018;111(3):152-155 Authors: Massaly A, Ndiaye LA, Cissé Diallo VMP, Wembulua B, Lakhe NA, Diallo Mbaye K, Ka D, Dièye A, Diop M, Fall NM, Badiane AS, Thioub D, Fortes Déguénonvo L, Ndour CT, Seydi M Abstract Tuberculosis remains a problem of public health, in spite of the numerous significant advances noted in the diagnosis in recent years. The involvement of the thoracic wall is a rare extra lung shape. Its clinical presentation is not specific and a collected thoracic tumefaction is the main clinical demonstration. The diagnosis is improved by the use of non-invasive tools such as the Xpert MTB/Rif® test with a good sensibility on the pus. Medical care is based on medical treatment and sometimes associated with surgical treatment. PMID: 30793578 [PubMed - in process]
