“…Primary tumors of the diaphragm are rare, and the most common benign lesions are diaphragmatic cysts (18). The CT density of the diaphragmatic mesothelial cyst is similar to that of water, and the margin is well-defined without enhancement (19), which was different from the findings in this case.…”

Abstract.We herein investigate the case of a patient with a tuberculous diaphragmatic abscess confirmed by pathology. The patient underwent plain computed tomography (CT) examination of the chest and contrast-enhanced abdominal CT examination. The abscess appeared as hypodense mass with thick and irregular wall, which was enhanced on the contrast-enhanced CT images. The shape of the mass resembled an irregular double convex lens. No enlarged lymph nodes were detected on the CT images. The presence of a tuberculous diaphragmatic abscess should be suspected in patients with a diaphragmatic hypodense mass with enhanced thick walls, even when there is absence of enlarged lymph nodes on the CT images.
