Abstract

Tuberculosis can mimic all pathological considerations of the lung and can present in many various forms and appearances. Most common radiographic appearances are cavitary, fibroproductive, exudative, acinary, micro and macronodular and miliary types. Six patients (5 men; ages ranging from 38 to 74 years) who presented at our clinic during previous years were evaluated. In this case series report we discussed the consideration that, very rarely, post primary lung tuberculosis presenting with large nodular and mass like forms in a chest X-ray or tomography scan, can be considered as having a neoplastic pattern.

Özet

Tüberküloz akciğerin hemen hemen patolojik tüm durumlarını taklit edebilir ve çok çeşitli form ve görünümde ortaya çıkabi lir. En sık izlenen radyolojik görünümler kaviter, fibroprodüktif, eksüdatif, asiner, makro ve mikronodüler ve milyer tiptir. Kliniği mize başvuran altı olgu (5 erkek, 38-74 yaşları arasında) değer lendirildi. Bu olgu serisi ile postprimer akciğer tüberkülozunun nadir olarak akciğer grafisi ya da tomografide kitle veya nodül görünümü gösterdiği ve neoplastik oluşumları taklit edebildiği tartışılarak hatırlatıldı.
