title: [Differential diagnosis aspects of computerized tomography in cancer and tuberculosis of the lungs].
abstract: The rise in the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis has caused an increase in the frequency of an association with lung neoplasms. Atypical manifestations of the diseases are observed in 20-22% of cases and attributable to a combination of X-ray signs, pathomorphism in the presence of immunodeficiencies, and a particular mimicry of lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis. The paper outlines the most characteristic diagnostic situations which most frequently lead to erroneous conclusions. The conditions in this group of patients should be verified by invasive instrumental means to obtain a morphological material.
