Like a shot-through manubrium: A rare presentation of skeletal tuberculosis.
Tomohiro FujiwaraHiroyuki YanaiHideharu HagiyaPublished in: Clinical case reports (2023)
A 22-year-old Vietnamese woman presented with anterior chest swelling. Computed tomography revealed an osteolytic lesion in the manubrium, whereas MRI showed an extra-osseous expansion. A needle biopsy showed granuloma formation, whereas a 3-week mycobacterial culture indicated Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Manubrium/sternum involvement in tuberculosis is extremely rare but should be considered.
