Tuberculosis of the Chest Wall with Massive Tuberculous Pleural Effusion. Indian J Chest Dis Allied Sci. 2016 Jan-Mar;58(1):63-5 Authors: Monteiro MV, Keny SJ, Lawande DJ, Kakodkar UC 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.
