Breast tuberculosis is a rare pathology, with a very low incidence ranging from 0.1-0.5%. Breast, spleen and skeletal muscles seem to be relatively immune to tuberculous infection. In non-endemic countries breast tuberculosis is 3-4.5% of all breast pathologies. In non-endemic countries breast tuberculosis is rare, and usually is secondary through haematogenous spreading from other infected org...

Skeletal tuberculosis is usually seen in association with primary pulmonary form. Pulmonary tuberculosis of the chest wall is a rare entity. We herein report a case of tuberculosis of the chest wall without pulmonary involvement that presented with big ulcer in the anterior chest wall and responded completely to the antituberculosis therapy without any surgical intervention.

Tuberculosis of the ilium is a rare identity, accounting for less than 1% of all skeletal tuberculosis. We report two such lesions in immunocompetent individuals. Tuberculosis remains an important differential diagnosis when faced with unusual or chronic bony lesions, especially in endemic areas, even in non-immunocompromised individuals. It can involve any site and affect people of any age.

Abstract. In palaeopathology, in addition to typical skeletal lesions, the study of secondary or minor lesions increases level detection pathologies human populations past. this perspective, we examined remains from Neolithic site Tell Aswad, located central Levant (southern Syria) order detect attributable tuberculosis (TB) infection. Skeletal vertebral and endocranial, are observed on a child...

A 54-year-old diabetic, hypertensive smoker (60 pack years) with chronic kidney disease Stage V and on dialysis, presented with hoarseness and weight loss. His hemoglobin was 9 g/dL, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) 60 mm at the first hour, blood urea 7 mmol/L and serum creatinine 70 μmol/L. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest showed a mass in the hilum of the left lung and enlarged media...

AbstractMammary tissue, skeletal muscle, and spleen are less frequently affected by mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB).The most common age for breast TB is between 50 and 70. On this article, we are reporting a 72-year-old womanwho presented with chronic cough, lobar consolidation in right middle lobe (RML) on the CXR, and a massin her right breast revealed on the physical examination. Biopsy from...

 Background: One of the important sites for extrapulmonary TB involvement is the skeleton. Tuberculous spondylitis (Pott’s disease) comprises 50-70% of the skeletal tuberculosis. Methods: In this case series study, we prospectively investigated the result of anterior surgery alone (anterior debridement, fusion and instrumentation) in the patients with spinal tuberculosis. The patients with imma...
