title: [Pancoast syndrome caused by lung tuberculosis].
abstract: Pancoast's syndrome arises from neoplasms in 95% of cases but infection is a rare cause. We describe a patient with Pancoast's tumor secondary to tuberculosis. Pain caused by plexopathy and lack of diagnosis by noninvasive means led to the need for open biopsy.
