title: Tuberculosis of the Chest Wall with Massive Tuberculous Pleural Effusion.
abstract: Primary tuberculosis of components of the chest wall is a rare entity. Involvement of skeletal muscle by tuberculosis without
  any primary focus is also rare. Here, we report a case of tuberculosis of chest wall without pulmonary or bone involvement,
  that invaded into the pleural space leading to a massive pleural effusion.
