Thoracic Wall Tuberculosis: A Rare Entity with Varied Presentations and Favorable Outcomes

Background: Thoracic wall tuberculosis, though rare, may present as cold abscesses.We reviewed 11 patients over a 2-year period, using imaging, polymerase chain reaction, or histological analysis for confirmation.Methods: Treatment combined anti-tuberculosis therapy with surgical drainage.Results: Despite varied presentations, outcomes remained favorable.Conclusion: This underscores the importance of timely diagnosis, appropriate care, and consistent follow-up.
