Abstract
La localisation pariétale thoracique chez l'enfant est une forme très rare de tuberculose. Son diagnostic est souvent difficile nécessitant le recours à la biopsie chirurgicale. Nous rapportons le cas d'une jeune fille de 14 ans, présentant depuis un mois et demi une tuméfaction de la paroi thoracique antérieure. La tomodensitométrie thoracique a objectivé un processus lésionnel pariétal para-sternal droit à limites imprécises responsable d'une érosion du sternum. L'examen anatomo-pathologique des biopsies de la coque d'abcès a confirmé le diagnostic de tuberculose caséo-folliculaire. Le traitement anti-bacillaire a permis une évolution favorable.
