dc.description.abstractChest wall tuberculosis is a rare entity and its clinical presentation may resemble a pyogenic abscess or chest wall tumor. The role of surgery in the diagnosis and treatment of chest wall tuberculosis is still controversial. During a 6-year period (1997-2002), six cases with cold abscesses of chest wall were managed in our clinic. Clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, treatment strategies, and results of medical and surgical treatment were retrospectively reviewed. There were four male and two female patients. All but one had a fluctuating and abscess-like chest wall mass. Pleura and mediastinal or chest wall lymph nodes were also involved in three patients. Before the debridement and abscess drainage, the diagnosis was not confirmed in any of our patients except one. All received a four-drug antituberculous regimen for 6-12 months postoperatively and improved clinically and radiologically. Surgical intervention and histological examination are usually necessary for the treatment and to confirm the diagnosis in chest wall tuberculosis. Antituberculous medical treatment and adjunctive surgery are quite effective in this process. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.en_US
