Abstract

Endobronchial tuberculosis is an involvement of the trachea and major bronchi by tuberculosis infection. Despite routine clinic and radiologic features bronchostenosis, atelectasis and obstructive pneumonia may develop and it is often misdiagnosed as bronchial asthma or lung cancer. The first case was a 74 year-old woman, admitted with complaint of chest pain. Computed tomography of thorax (CT) showed atelectasis on medial segment of right middle lob and minimal plevral effusion on the right hemitorax. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a submucosal lesion which obscured right upper lobe bronchus totally. The second case was a 38 year-old woman, admitted with complaints of dyspnea and chest pain. Thoracal CT revealed solid mass obscuring right intermedius bronchus. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed endobronchial lesion on the anterior wall of medial lobe of right lung. Biopsies were taken on both cases and histopathologic examination gave the diagnosis as endobronchial tuberculosis. Here we presenting two endobronchial tuberculosis cases because of mimicking lung cancer.

Özet

Endobronşiyal tüberküloz, trakea ve büyük bronşların tüberküloz enfeksiyonuna bağlı tutulumudur. Bronş obstrüksiyonu, atelektazi ve sekonder pnömoniye neden olarak tüberkülozun alışılmış klinik ve radyolojik özellikleri dışına çıkabilir ve başta astım, bronş kanseri gibi birçok hastalığı taklit edebilir. Olgu 1; 74 yaşında bir kadın hastaydı ve göğüs ağrısı yakınmasıyla başvurmuştu. Toraks Bilgisayarlı Tomografi?de (BT) sağ hemitoraksta yer yer plevral kalınlaşmanın eşlik ettiği minimal plevra sıvısı, sağ hemitoraksta hacim kaybı vardı. FOB? da sağ üst lob bronşu submukozal lezyon ve antrakotik lezyonla oblitere idi. Olgu 2; 38 yaşında bir kadın hastaydı, nefes darlığı ve göğüs ağrısı yakınmasıyla başvurmuştu. Toraks BT? de sağ hilusta bronkus intermediusu daraltan yumuşak doku dansitesi izlendi. FOB?da sağda orta lob girişinde anterior duvardan mukozal kabarıklık saptandı. İki olguda da alınan biyopsi sonucu tüberküloz ile uyumluydu. Maligniteyi taklit eden tüberküloz olguları olmaları nedeniyle burada sunulmaktadır.
