Introduction And Importance: Despite the chance of a complete cure that surgery offers for patients seen early, the management of some complicated forms of chronic pyothorax with calcified pleural pockets of tuberculosis origin is risky, if not impossible. In these conditions, thoracomyoplasty with complete effacement of the pleural pocket is an effective alternative in the surgical management of these pockets.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 37-year-old male African Arab who was treated for a chronic, calcified pleural pocket of tuberculous origin and in whom low thoracomyoplasty was performed because of the impossibility of performing a left pleuropneumonectomy.

Tuberculous bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication of pulmonary tuberculosis, in which abnormal connections form between the bronchial tree and the pleural space. These abnormal connections allow air and secretions to pass from the lungs into the pleural space, causing a range of symptoms from benign cough to acute tension pneumothorax. The management of tuberculous BPF requires an individualized approach based on the patient's condition and response to treatment.
