Abstract

Tuberculosis of bone-joint systems is considerably rare. Pulmonary tuberculosis is primary source in most patients. There are few cases in the literature in which tuberculosis targets the sternum primarily. In this article, we present a case of a primary sternal tuberculosis in a 64-year-old woman who was admitted to our clinic with chest pain and a chest wall mass. The patient was treated with sternal resection and chest wall reconstruction.

Özet

Kemik-eklem sistemi tüberkülozu, oldukça nadirdir. Pulmoner tüberküloz hastaların çoğunluğunda primer kaynağı oluşturmaktadır. Tüberkülozun sternumda primer olarak görülmesi ise literatürde az sayıda bildirilmiştir. Bu yazıda göğüs ağrısı ve göğüs duvarında kitle yakınması ile kliniğimize başvuran, 64 yaşında bayan hasta sunuldu. Hastanın tedavisi sternum rezeksiyonu ve göğüs duvar rekonstrüksiyonu ile yapıldı.
