title: [An endobronchial mass as the presentation of tuberculosis. A report of 3 cases and review of the literature].
abstract: 3 cases of endobronchial TB are described. They were diagnosed as endobronchial mass which deviated the diagnosis to another pathology in absence of sputum culture. The TB treatment produced a complete resolution of the lesions. We highlight the endobronchial mass as a non-frequent clinical feature of EBTB and we should bear this etiology in mind in differential diagnosis of all endobronchial masses even if the clinical and endoscopic data are of bronchial tumor.
