Abstract

In a 41-year old male patient we encountered tuberculosis of atypical localization, mimicking a tumor mass. Thorax computed tomography showed a soft tissue mass surrounding the left subclavian artery laterally. The mass was removed through open lung biopsy. Histopatholoğic findings showed granulomatous inflammation with necrosis. Clinical and radiologic improvement was achieved after anti-tuberculosis therapy for nine months.

Özet

Kırk bir yaşında erkek hastada atipik yerleşimli ve tümör kitlesini andıran tüberküloz görüldü. Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde sol subklavian arteri lateralde çevreleyen 2.5x1cm'lik düzensiz konturlu yumuşak doku kitlesi saptandı. Açık akciğer biyopsisi ile kitle çıkarıldı. Histopatolojik bulgular, nekrozlu granülomatöz iltihap şeklinde yorumlandı. Dokuz ay antitüberküloz tedavisi sonunda hastada klinik ve radyolojik düzelme gözlendi.
