Tuberculosis Case Presented with a Solid Mass Lesion in the Lung

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB), especially in least developed and developing countries is a serious health problem all over the world. Particularly in areas with a high incidence of TB it can occur with many different clinical and radiological findings. In our case we presented a patient that we thought to be lung cancer, however diagnosed as tuberculosis after the evaluations. We think that in countries with high tuberculosis incidence and prevalence such as our country, tuberculosis should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis in every clinical and radiological feature.
