| Abstract: | Chest wall involvement is an uncommon manifestation of musculoskeletal tuberculosis. We present computed tomography and magnetic
resonance imaging findings in a case with multifocal musculoskeletal tuberculosis presenting as a breast mass. These radiological
modalities are not diagnostic without histopathological confirmation, but they are valuable guides to surgery in defining
the extent of disease involvement.
