Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by M. Tuberculosis Complex that involves both mainly lungs and other organs. Post-primary pulmonary TB is mostly seen in adults. It is usually located in apical region of lungs and makes cavitary lesions. We can see different clinical pictures in the areas of high incidence with TB. In the differential diagnosis of nodular and cavitary lesions in the lungs, metastatic lung cancer, wegener granulomatosis and TB are included. We report a case with different radiological appearance and a clinical sign that has extra-TB differential diagnosis which most possible cause is metastatic lung cancer.
