Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and lung cancer may mimic each other in the aspect of the clinical and radiological features, particularly. Early diagnosis and treatment is of utmost importance for improved sur- vival in these patients. Herein, we present a 59 year- old case diagnosed with PTB, while being considered lung cancer metastases. In our case, PTB in the left lung and lung cancer (large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma) in the right lung were found simultane- ously. After our case with sputum smear negative completed tuberculosis therapy, his daughter who had symptoms of cough and sputum was diagnosed with smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis. In smear AFB negative pulmonary tuberculosis cases, contact screen is important for early TB diagnosis. The local immunity is deteriorated in cancer cases, if there is pneumonic infiltration in lung, excluding metastatic lesions and other infections; therefore, we must search tuberculosis too

Özet

Akciğer tüberkülozu ve akciğer kanseri klinik radyolo- jik özellikleri nedeniyle birbirlerini taklit ederler. Erken teşhis ve tedavi bu hastaların yaşam süresini uzama- sında önemlidir. Çalışmamızda, 59 yaşında akciğer kanser metastazı düşünülen akciğer tüberkülozu tanısı alan hastayı sunduk. Olgumuzda sol akciğerde tü- berküloz, sağ akciğerde akciğer kanseri (büyük hüc- reli nöroendokrin karsinom) aynı anda görüldü. Bal- gam yayma negatif akciğer tüberkülozlu olgumuz tedavisini tamamladıktan sonra öksürük ve balgam çıkarma şikâyetleri olan kızının balgam yaymasında asit alkole rezistans basil (ARB) tespit edildi. Yayma negatif tüberküloz olguların temaslı taraması önemli- dir. Kanserli olgularda yerel immünite bozulduğun- dan akciğerde pnömonik infiltrasyon varlığında me- tastaz ve diğer infeksiyon hastalıkları dışında tüberkü- lozda araştırmalıdır
