title: [Lung cancer accompanied by active pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: We report 2 patients with lung cancer accompanied by active pulmonary tuberculosis. Case1 was a 82-year-old woman with stage I A bronchioloalveolar carcinoma and tuberculosis in right upper lobe. Right upper lobectomy was performed after the histological diagnosis of lung cancer by intraoperative frozen section. Case2 was a 69-year-old man with papillary adenocarcinoma in right lower lobe and tuberculosis in bilateral upper lobe. Partial resection in right lower lobe was performed for diagnosis of lung cancer. Smear-positive tuberculosis was diagnosed by sputum examination after the operation. Post-operative anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy was added in both patients.
