It can have varied presentations, from classical pulmonary disease to affection of extra-pulmonary sites, the most common being the vertebral column. With a wide array of clinical manifestations, differentiating disseminated tuberculosis from common malignancies is no less than a herculean task for a clinician. Keeping a high index of clinical suspicion and detailed work up in the right direction can save the clinician and the patient from an exhaustive ordeal of futile investigations. Here, we present a rare case of miliary tuberculosis masquerading as a common malignancy of the elderly, re-emphasizing the need for a systematic approach to such confusing presentations.}, number={02}, publisher={Aydın ECE}
