Abstract
The radiological appearances of seven cases of rib tuberculosis are discussed. The combination of rib destruction and an extrapleural soft tissue opacity in an Asian immigrant makes tuberculosis a highly likely diagnosis. The presence of an associated fluctuant chest wall swelling, enables a diagnosis of tuberculosis to be made with confidence even in Caucasians.Entities:
