Résumé

Parietal thoracic tuberculosis is a rare localization of tuberculosis. It reaches the ribs and intercostal spaces due to hematogenous spread or direct transcutaneous inoculation. The diagnosis of tuberculosis must be evoked given the endemic context, even in immunocompetent patients. Surgical excision associated with medical treatment remains the best treatment in this case to avoid any local or distant recurrence.
