TUBERCULOSIS OF THE AZYGOUS LOBE OF LUNG: CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Journal Title: Era's Journal of Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The Azygous lobe is usually an incidental finding in chest x ray PA view. Although pulmonary tuberculosis is common in India, involvement of the azygous lobe by this disease has never been reported in literature to the best of our knowledge. We describe the case of a patient with tuberculosis of the azygous lobe of the lung. The patient presented with a normal chest x-ray PA view. Further investigations revealed pulmonary tuberculosis of the azygous lobe and the patient improved with anti-tuberculosis therapy.
