[Immediate and late outcomes of surgical treatment in patients with tumor-simulating pulmonary tuberculosis].
The specific features and outcomes of surgical treatment were analyzed in 122 newly detected patients with pulmonary tuberculomas without prior specific therapy. Postoperative complications developed in 4.1% of the patients undergone surgery, recurrent tuberculosis was observed in 1.6%. Early surgical interventions in this group of patients were found to reduce the time of treatment and working rehabilitation. A value of intraoperative rapid cytological verification of diagnosis was shown while choosing the adequate volume of lung resection in difficult diagnostic cases.
