“…Surgical excision of the mass allows a tuberculosis diagnosis to be made, but it must be associated with medical treatment to avoid any local or distant recurrences [ 5 ]. Medical treatment alone is often insufficient and must be associated with surgical excision or debridement [ 6 ].…”

Parietal thoracic tuberculosis is a rare localization of tuberculosis. It reaches the ribs and intercostal spaces due to hematogenous spread or direct transcutaneous inoculation. The diagnosis of tuberculosis must be evoked given the endemic context, even in immunocompetent patients. Surgical excision associated with medical treatment remains the best treatment in this case to avoid any local or distant recurrence.

“…Tuberculosis continues to be an important world health problem.Tuberculosis of the chest wall is extremely rare. It accounts for 0.1% of all forms of tuberculosis [1], and occurs by three mechanisms: direct extension from a pleuropulmonary site, lymphatic involvement from lymphadenopathy, or dissemination by blood [2,3]. Costal and intercostal involvement is the most common.…”

Background : Tuberculosis is still an important world health problem. The parietal chest wall site in children is a extremely rare form of tuberculosis. Its diagnosis is often so difficult requiring a surgical biopsy. Case presentation : We report the case of 1.5-year-old infant, with no family history of active tuberculosis, who had a swelling of the anterior chest wall for two months. Physical examination found a swelling measuring 1.5 cm by 1 cm in relation to the second parasternal intercostal space, fluctuating in its center, with an inflammatory skin which fistulized giving a bud-like appearance with a purulent exudate. Chest X-ray was normal. The thoracic computed tomography showed a sternal mass responsible for a bone lysis with an infiltration. Pathology examination of biopsies of the parietal mass confirmed the diagnosis of caseo-follicular tuberculosis with lesion of tuberculosis osteitis. Human immunodeficiency virus serology was negative, early morning gastric aspirates performed on two consecutive days were negative for acid-fast bacilli, and quantiferon TB Gold in tube test resulted was also negative. Antitubercular therapy was started with prolonged regimens for 12 months. She has allowed a favorable outcome with healing of the thoracic parietal lesion after 6 months. Conclusions : Diagnosis of chest well tuberculosis is still challenging even if we are in endemic area and it must be conducted early, his management is based on both surgey and antitubercular therapy for having a complete recovery. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent serious complications.

“…A notre connaissance, l'atteinte du muscle grand pectoral comme le cas de notre patient n'a jamais été rapportée dans la littérature. L'atteinte musculaire peut se présenter sous forme de masse kystique rénitente, indolore sans signes inflammatoires en regard réalisant un tableau d'abcès froid ou de masse tissulaire ferme parfois mobile [5]. La physiopathologie de cette localisation n'est pas claire.…”

La tuberculose des parties molles représente l’une des formes rares de la tuberculose extra pulmonaire, la localisation musculaire isolée est par-ailleurs exceptionnelle. Nous rapportant une observation médicale originale, une tuberculose musculaire isolée intéressant le muscle grand pectoral chez un jeune patient immunocompétent. Le diagnostic a reposé essentiellement sur l’histologie. L’évolution été favorable sous traitement anti bacillaire seul. Ce cas rare est présenté avec revue de littérature.
