Pulmonary Tuberculosis Mimicking Lung Cancer and Metastasis Radiologically- A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Medical Research - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is known to mimic several clinical conditions, especially malignancy. Pulmonary TB can present with pulmonary infiltration with or without mediastinal lymphadenopathy. TB often gets misdiagnosed in the countries having a low incidence of TB with a high incidence of lung cancer and varying clinical presentations, which results in delay in treatment initiation and unnecessary diagnostic procedures. We present a case of a 52-year old female, with a presumptive diagnosis of malignancy, which was subsequently proved as pulmonary tuberculosis with no evidence of malignancy instead.
