Abstract

The skeletal muscles are rarely affected by tuberculosis because they are not a favorable site for the survival and multiplication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A case of tuberculous abscess in rectus abdominis muscle is described in a 20- year- old female in an apparently healthy individual without any past history of tuberculosis.
