title: Multiple pleural tuberculomas associated with a cold abscess of the hip.
abstract: We report an unusual case of multiple pleural tuberculomas associated with a cold abscess of the hip. A 26-year-old man was admitted because of diffuse nodular thickening of the right pleura and an abscess of the left hip. Biopsies of the pleura and abscess of the left hip revealed tuberculosis. Antituberculous chemotherapy for 12 months improved both the pleural tuberculomas and the cold abscess of the left hip.
