Abstract

Tuberculosis is one of the most important public health problems. It is most commonly seen in the lungs. It is easy to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis with typical clinical and radiological findings. In addition to the appearance of pneumonia and atelectasis, it may mimic bron- chial asthma and malignancy more rarely. We present a case of asymp- tomatic tuberculosis mimicking malignancy radiologically.

Özet

Tüberküloz en önemli halk sağlığı sorunlarından biridir. En sık akciğerleri tutar. Tipik klinik ve radyolojik bulgular olduğunda akciğer tüberkülozuna tanı koymak kolaydır. Pnömoni ve atelektazi görünümlerinin yanı sıra, daha nadir olarak bronşiyal astım ve maligniteyi taklit edebilmektedir. Asemptomatik, radyolojik olarak maligniteyi taklit eden bir olguyu sunuyoruz.
