title: Pulmonary artery aneurysm and thrombosis in active tuberculous consolidation.
abstract: Tuberculosis continues to remain challenging with a variety of complications. We report the case of a 58-year-old female who developed pulmonary artery aneurysm with intra-arterial thrombus as a complication of active tuberculosis. Even though there are reports of pulmonary artery aneurysm in tuberculous cavity, pulmonary artery aneurysm and intra-arterial thrombus in active tuberculosis are very rare.
