Abstract
The patient was a 70-year-old woman who visited our hospital due to right chest pain. Chest computedtomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an abscess in the chest wallwhich was diagnosed as tuberculous abscess by a bacterial examination of needle aspiration. In spite ofanti-tuberculosis chemotherapy, the abscess was ruptured on day 15 after starting treatment, and a radicalresection of the abscess was performed after 10-days conservative treatment. Skin over the abscessand a part of right 7th and 8th rib were also resected. Postoperative anti-tuberculosis chemotherapywas added and no relapse was seen for 40 months postsurgery.
