Abstract

Chest wall tuberculosis is a very rare form of tuberculosis. Its presentations often misguide the clinician for early diagnosis and produce a diagnostic dilemma. High index of suspicion and exposure to literature reports may be helpful for early diagnosis and treatment. Here, such a case of chest wall tuberculosis which was preliminary managed by many clinicians with variety of empirical diagnosis has been reported. Even the FNAC report from the lesion was inconclusive. Atypical presentation of tuberculosis is common in developing countries like Bangladesh. Careful approach to a patient of chest wall nodules without any other signs and symptoms of tuberculosis especially in developing countries may reduce the sufferings of that particular patient.
