“…A recent study showed that assessment of internal mammary lymph node involvement (via CT scan and chest ultrasound) may be a key element to guide diagnostic work-up of patients with suspected tuberculous pleurisy [16]. Notably, we did not find internal mammary lymph adenopathies.…”

Disseminated tuberculosis is a rare form of tuberculosis that can cause severe illness if diagnosed and treated late. We present the case of a young Senegalese woman who had a miscarriage due to a pelvic inflammatory disease, followed by the development of a left pleural effusion. Despite laparoscopic findings and a salpinx biopsy that revealed necrotizing granulomas, only microbiological examinations of pleural biopsies revealed the final diagnosis of disseminated, drug-sensitive tuberculosis.

“…The increasing incidence of TBM in recent years, coupled with complex clinical symptoms, long treatment times, and high drug resistance, makes the cure rate of patients very low and the prognosis very poor (20). The pathological changes of patients are also various, such as diffuse congestion of the meninges, flattening of the gyri, and a lot of thick gelatinous exudate appearing in subarachnoid space, and it is a hot topic for scholars to find more appropriate treatment from the pathogenesis (21,22).…”

“…A concomitant pericardiac effusion may be detected in up to 6% of PTB cases [ 47 ]. In a multicentre Italian study, the presence of an enlarged (short axis >5 mm) internal mammary lymph node increased the likelihood of PTB, especially in patients <50 years of age with a positive predictive value of 87.8% [ 48 ]. In another pilot study, tuberculous pleurisy was found to be associated with apical consolidations (odds ratio 9.67) and subpleural nodules (odds ratio 5.30) [ 49 ].…”

The pleural space is a “potential” anatomical space which is formed of two layers: visceral and parietal. It normally contains a trace of fluid (∼10 mL in each hemithorax). Diseases of the pleura can manifest with thickening of the pleural membranes or by abnormal accumulation of air or liquid. Chest radiographs are often the first imaging tests to point to a pleural pathology. With the exception of pneumothorax, and due to the inherent limitations of chest radiographs, ultrasound and/or computed tomography are usually required to further characterise the pleural pathology and guide management. This review summarises the utility of different imaging tools in the management of pleural disease and discusses new and evolving tools in imaging of the pleura.
