Tuberculosis is a disease that occurs with different radiological manifestations. Although not frequent, tuberculosis cases seen as pulmonary masses have been reported in the literature. It is difficult to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis definitely and to rule out a tumor in patients presenting with image of a pulmonary mass. In this paper, we discussed difficulties in diagnosis of two patients, aged 42 and 65 years, who admitted with a mass image on their chest x-rays to our clinic. Positron emission tomography images were taken following computerized tomography. Acid fast bacteria, bronchoalveolar lavage and bronchoscopic biopsies were not diagnostic. Therefore, surgery was used to establish the diagnosis. In the first patient, lobectomy was carried out with wedge resection due to peroperative suspected malignancy report of frozen section. Definitive report, however, yielded tuberculosis. Both patients received antituberculosis treatment and both were well at routine follow up examinations. Tuberculosis should be kept in mind when a mass is encountered in an endemic area such as our country. J Clin Exp Invest 2014; 5 (3): 462-465

Tüberküloz farklı radyolojik görünümlerle ortaya çıkabilen bir hastalıktır. Sık olmamakla birlikte kitle görünümünde akciğer tüberkülozu olguları literatürde mevcuttur. Akciğerde kitle görünümü ile başvuran hastalarda tüberküloz tanısından emin olmak ve eşlik eden tümör tanısını kesin dışlamak bazen zor olmaktadır. Bu yazıda, kliniğimize akciğer grafiğinde kitle görünümü ile başvuran 42 ve 65 yaşındaki iki hastanın tanısında yaşanan güçlükler tartışıldı. Her iki olgunun bilgisayarlı tomografileri sonrası, Pozitron Emisyon Tomografileri çekildi. Üç kez bakılan balgamda Aside rezistans bakteri negatif idi. Fiberoptik bronkoskopik lavaj ve bronş biyopsileri negatif geldi. Bu nedenle her iki olguya cerrahi ile tanıya gidildi. İlk olguya mini torakotomi ile wedge rezeksiyonu yapıldı. Alınan parankim dokudan frozen (donmuş kesit) çalışıldı ve tüberkülozla uyumlu geldi. İkinci olgununda cerrahi sırasında frozen malign gelmesi nedeniyle sol üst lobektomi yapıldı. Ancak kesin patoloji raporu tüberküloz olarak geldi. Her iki olguya anti-tüberküloz tedavisi başlandı ve rutin kontrollerinde genel durumları iyi idi. Ülkemiz gibi tüberkülozun yaygın görüldüğü yerlerde akciğerde kitle görüntüsünde olan lezyonların değerlendirilmesinde tüberkülozun akılda tutulması gerekir.
