Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Pulmonary Tuberculosis can co-exist with lung malignancy masking the underlying disorder leading to delay in diagnosis and management. Here we present an interesting case of a 72 year old female who on initial presentation was diagnosed with tuberculosis but later developed plural effusion during treatment and on investigation was found to have an underlying lung malignancy.
