Hilar and/or mediastinal lymphadenopaties are rarely the,sole radiological manifestation in adults and decrease in frequency with advancing age. In patient who have hilar and/or mediastinaf lymphadenopaties, lymphoma, sarcoidosis, fungal infections and malignancy should be thought in the differential diagnosis.

Özet

Tüberküloz lenfadenit en sık görülen ekstrapulmoner tüberküloz formudur. Hiler ve mediastinal lenfadenit erişkinlerde nadiren tek rodyolojik bulgu olabilir. Ayırıcı tanıda lenfoma, sarkoidoz, fungal enfeksiyonlar, maligniteler daha sık görülen nedenlerdir. Çoğu zaman tanı için cerrahi yaklaşım gerekir. Biz de sağ üst lob bronşunu çevreleyen kitle lezyonla seyreden ve başlangıçta akciğer kanseri düşündüren bir tüberküloz lenfadenit olgusu sunuyoruz.
