title: Endobronchial tuberculosis presenting as tumorous mass.
abstract: We report a case of an 18-year-old boy presenting with features of right middle lobe collapse. On bronchoscopy, a tumorous type of endobronchial tuberculosis was found to be obstructing the lumen of the right middle lobe bronchus. On treatment with anti-tuberculous drugs the growth resolved significantly within three months. The patient, however, developed mild stenosis of the airway.
