Tuberculosis presenting as Lung mass
Keywords:
Tuberculosis, Mass lesion, Lung Mass, FNAC
Abstract
Pulmonary tuberculosis remains one of the major health problem through out the world. Pulmonary Tuberculosis has variable presentation, may present as a mass lesion. Here we are reporting a rare case presenting with dry cough with intermittent fever since 1 month,significant weight loss and one bout of hemoptysis 2 days back . A mass lesion noted in the right lower zone on chest x- ray and confirmed by Computed Tomography (CT) scan. Ultra sound aided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) confirmed as tuberculosis.
