Abstract

uberculosis, can lead to difficulties in diagnosis because of radiologic findings similar to some tumoral, inflammatory, and systemic diseases. Two cases with pulmonary tuberculosis that was investigated as a mass lesion, were presented. Case 1: Pulmonary computed tomograms of a 72-year-old male patient showed irregular solid mass 5 cm in diameter in the apicoposterior segment of his left lung. The sputum smear was AFB (++) and the patient was diagnosed as tuberculosis. Case 2: A solid lesion was revealed with chest computed tomog- raphy in a 53-year-old male patient. Endobronchial lesion was not found in bronchoscopy. The patient’s thorax computed tomography showed mediastinal lymph nodes. Mediastinoscopic biopsy revealed a necrotizing granulomatous lesion. Pulmonary tuberculosis may progress with atypical radiologic findings in people with diabetes and the elderly. We have tho- ught that inclusion of tuberculosis among our initial diagnoses may be useful in these patients

Özet

Tüberküloz radyolojik olarak bazı tümöral, inflamatuvar vesistemik hastalıklara benzer bulgular vererek tanı güçlüklerine yol açabilir. Kitle lezyonu nedeniyle araştırılan iki akciğer tüberkülozlu sunuldu.Olgu 1: 72 yaşında erkek hastanın akciğer tomografisinde sol akciğer apikoposterior segmentte düzensiz konturlu 5 cm çapında solid kitle lezyonu saptandı. Bu arada balgamda ARB yaymaları (++) gelmesi üzerine tüberküloz tanısı konuldu. Olgu 2: 53 yaşında erkek hastanın akciğer tomografisinde saptanan solid lezyon için yapılan bronkoskopide endobronşi- yal lezyon saptanmadı. Hastanın torax tomografisindeki medi- astinal lenf nodu için mediastinoskopik biyopsi nekrotizan granülomatöz lezyon saptandı. Diyabetlilerde ve yaşlılarda akciğer tüberkülozu atipik radyo- lojik bulgularla seyredebilir. Bu tür hastalarda tüberküloza ön tanılarımız arasında yer almasının yararlı olabileceğini düşündük.
