Abstract:
Tuberculous abscesses of the chest wall are a rare pathological situation, occurring mainly in endemic countries. Imaging, based essentially on CT scans, enables a diagnostic approach and, above all, distinguishes it from other differential diagnoses, such as pyogenic abscess and parietal tumors. The rarity of this tuberculous localization has led us to present two cases whose diagnosis was made on imaging and confirmed by anatomopathological study, with a good evolution after treatment.
