“…Osteoarticular tuberculosis mainly affects the spine, hip or knee [1]. Localization at the chest wall represents less than 5% of osteoarticular tuberculosis, and whose sternal involvement remains more rare, and estimated at 1 to 2% [2][3]. Dissemination occurs either by a hematogenous or lymphatic pathway or by direct contiguity from mediastinal adenopathy's or pleural empyema [4][5].…”

“…In our case, the diagnosis was reported by the GeneXpert on the collection of pus, however the histologic sample showed only a granulomatous lesion without cystic necrosis. Thoracic CT can contribute to the diagnosis by showing a sternal lysis, intraosseous sequestration, or associated wall abscess, but also to identify underlying pulmonary involvement and to guide possible biopsy or drainage [2][3][4][5]. The treatment of sternal tuberculosis remains medico-surgical.…”

Sternal tuberculosis is a form of osteoarticular tuberculosis. It remains a rare localization, whose diagnosis is based on bacteriological and anatomopathological samples. The treatment is medical and surgical, and the prognosis is better with the antibacillary treatment. We report a case of sternal tuberculosis in an 18-year-old girl with no pathological history who presented with a parasternal right swelling and whose Bacteriological samples was favorable for tuberculosis according to GeneXpert test and the histological analysis revealed a granulomatous lesion without caseous necrosis.
