Tuberculosis presenting as mediastinal and lung mass radiologically: a case report.
Mediastinal and lung masses are commonly encountered. The causes range from benign to malignant lesions to which infective lesions contribute to some extent. The conditions presenting as a lung mass with metastatic mediastinal mass are usually indications of malignancy. Tuberculosis is an uncommon cause of such presentations. We report a case of a 53-year-old man who presented with a lung mass with conglomerate lymph nodal mass which was later confirmed as tuberculosis on histopathological examination.
