Sternal involvement in TB is a rare clinical occurrence. The clinical presentation is indolent with localized swelling and pain over the sternum. Other less common manifestations are discharging sinuses, ulcers, and bone deformities. Magnetic resonance imaging can delineate the extent of bone and soft tissue involvement well.
