Abstract
A 24-year old woman presented with an abscess localized at the median side of the right clavicle. There were no clinical signs of tuberculosis and radiological evaluation was normal. PCR-assay on tuberculosis following aspiration of the pus collection was positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. She responded well on regular anti-tuberculosis treatment.
