Abstract

In this report, two cases of endobronchial tuberculosis initially diagnosed as lung cancer were presented and the importance of endobronchial tuberculosis in differential diagnosis was evaluated. The first case, a 56-year-old man, was admitted to our hospital because of hemoptysis. He had been treated for he was lung cancer for four years at an oncologic center. Bronchoscopy revealed a mass on the right side of carina and diagnosed as tuberculosis by histopathologic examination. The second case, a 48-year-old man, was admitted with the diagnosis of "squamous cell lung carcinoma, total pneumothorax and diabetes mellitus". The sputum examination showed that acid-fast bacilli was positive. At bronchoscopy right upper lobe was totally obstructed with a mass. Biopsy revealed granulomatous tissue.

Özet

Bu sunuda başlangıçta akciğer kanseri tanısı konmuş olan iki olgunun özellikleri tartışılmış ve ayırıcı tanıda endobronşiyal tüberkülozun önemi araştırılmıştır. Hemoptizi nedeniyle başvuran 56 yaşındaki erkek hastamız 4 yıldır akciğer kanseri tanısı ile bir onkoloji merkezi tarafından izlenmekteydi. Bronkoskopide karinanın hemen sağında kitle lezyonu görüldü ve histopatolojik olarak tüberküloz tanısı kondu. İkinci olgumuz 48 yaşında bir erkek hasta olup "skuamöz hücreli akciğer karsinomu, sağ total pnömotoraks, diabetes mellitus" tanılarıyla bir onkoloji merkezinden kliniğimize sevkedildi. Balgamda ARB direkt pozitif bulunması üzerine yapılan bronkoskopisinde sağ üst lobu tümüyle obstrükte eden kitle görüldü. Biyopsisinde "granülomatöz iltihap" saptandı.
