    Author: Garg PK, Teckchandani N, Hadke NS.
    Journal: South Med J; 2008 Mar; 101(3):303-4. PubMed ID: 18364662.
    Abstract:
    Isolated involvement of the sternum with tuberculosis is rare. Only a few cases of sternal tuberculosis have been reported in literature. Tubercular sternal osteomyelitis presenting as multiple cutaneous sinuses over the anterior chest wall is extremely rare. We present a patient with sternal tuberculosis presenting as multiple cutaneous sinuses over the anterior chest wall. Standard antitubercular chemotherapy resulted in complete recovery.
