Abstract
Primary tuberculosis of components of the chest wall is a rare entity. Involvement of skeletal muscle by tuberculosis without
any primary focus is also rare. Here, we report a case of tuberculosis of chest wall without pulmonary or bone involvement,
that invaded into the pleural space leading to a massive pleural effusion.
