Abstract

Tuberculosis is one of the most important public health problems. It is most commonly seen in the lungs. It is easy to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis with typical clinical and radiological findings. In addition to the appearance of pneumonia and atelectasis, it may mimic bronchial asthma and malignancy more rarely. We present a case of asymptomatic tuberculosis mimicking malignancy radiologically.
