Rare Case Report

Tuberculosis is the worldwide serious health problem. Pulmonary tuberculosis is most commonly seen in India. The usual manifestation of tuberculosis is in the form of consolidation in upper lobe or superior segment of lower lobe.(1) But sometimes the disease has variable atypical presentation such as a mass. The diagnosis of Pulmonary tuberculosis or malignancy can be easily made when observed with CT or chest radiography.However some tuberculous lesions may clinically and radiographically mimic a neoplasia(2) This may lead to misdiagnosis or delayed treatment. Here we discuss a similar case of a 24 year old female.
