title: [Pseudotumoral bronchial tuberculosis].
abstract: We analyse our own experience of a rare tuberculosis presentation that we call pseudotumoral bronchial tuberculosis. 9 cases were studied, which due to radiological, endoscopic and clinical features, a diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma was made. The median age was 63.7 years, 7 were male and 2 were female. The hilar or mediastinic radiological pattern was frequent. The bacterial diagnosis was made through the study of the samples obtained by bronchoscopy, except in 2 cases which were diagnosed through post-bronchoscopy sputum examination. The bronchial biopsy showed the typical necrotic granulomas of tuberculosis in only one case. Supported by the bad evolution of our patients treated without steroids, the possible efficacy of early use of steroid is suggested to avoid the most important sequelae, bronchial stenosis.
