Abstract:
:Plombage, a variant of collapse therapy for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis that uses a variety of foreign materials, was undertaken until the 1950s before the invention of effective antimicrobial therapy. Complications related to previous plombage procedures are not uncommon. Management of these complications can be challenging. We report a patient presenting with extrusion of plombage 59 years later and managed successfully with removal of the plomb and pectoral muscle flap transposition.
