Parallel Fashion

Objective: Tuberculosis remains one of the most fatal diseases in the world. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis increases in parallel fashion with the rise of incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Tuberculosis of the chest wall is rare. Methods: Our study retrospectively evaluated 10 patients with tuberculosis of the chest wall who were treated with surgery in addition to antituberculous chemotherapy in the last 8 years. Seven of the lesions were located on the anterior chest wall, and three of the lesions were on the lateral chest wall. Results: Surgical therapy consisted of evacuation of the cold abscess material from the cavities and wide débridement of the soft tissue planes in all patients. Partial rib resections were performed in six patients owing to costal or chondral involvement. Conclusions: Chest wall tuberculosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of chest wall lesions, especially in endemic areas.

Close Observation

We describe two cases of chemical necrotizing fasciitis in the upper extremities, anterior chest wall and epigastric region of the abdominal wall caused by household insecticide injection. We suggest that surgical debridement can be successfully performed in the subacute period under close observation in hemodynamically stable patients.
