description Tuberculosis affects pulmonary and extra‐pulmonary sites with a multitude of differing presentations. The involvement of thoracic wall is a rare entity. We report the case of a patient who had a tumefaction on the right chest wall 6 months after a right breast mastectomy. After an initial radiological suspicion of malignancy, we detected intraoperatively an abscess in which histologic examination revealed granulomas with multinucleated giant cells. Chest wall tuberculosis is a very rare condition with few cases reported in the literature. The aim of this article is to report a patient operated for chest wall tumefaction and to review the literature.
