Abstract

A 21-year-old male patient was hospitalized due to complaints of dyspnea, and occasional cough and night sweats. He had smoking history. Chest X-ray revealed reticulonodular infiltration in both lung fields. Thorax high resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) revealed a reticulonodular infiltration and thin walled cavitary lesions. He underwent a video-assisted thoracic surgery for definite diagnosis. The biopsy specimen showed S-100 protein positive histiocytes in lesions. During laboratory evaluation M. tuberculosis was isolated on culture media (BACTEC) and antituberculosis treatment was started. HRCT examination after six months from the beginning of the treatment revealed marked improvement in nodular lesions and thin walled cystic lesions.

Özet

Yirmi bir yaşındaki bir erkek hasta nefes darlığı, seyrek öksürük ve gece terlemesi yakınmaları ile hastaneye yatırıldı.Sigara öyküsü vardı. Akciğer grafisinde her iki akciğerde retikülonodüler infiltrasyon gözlendi. Toraks yüksek rezolüsyonlu bilgisayarlı tomografide (YRBT) retiküler infiltrasyon ile beraber ince duvarlı kaviter lezyonlar vardı. Hastaya tanı amaçlı VATS uygulandı. Biyopside lezyonların S 100 protein pozitif histiyositler içerdiği görüldü. Laboratuvar işlemleri devam ederken hastanın balgamında BACTEC ortamında M. tuberculosis izole edildi ve hastaya antitüberküloz tedavisi uygulandı. Tedavinin başlangıcından 6 ay sonra yapılan YRBT incelemesinde nodüler lezyonlar ve ince duvarlı kistik lezyonlarda belirgin iyileşme saptandı.
