    Author: Teeratakulpisarn J, Srinakarin J, Tontisirin C, Lumbiganon P, Mitchai J.
    Journal: Pediatr Pulmonol; 2006 Jan; 41(1):98-101. PubMed ID: 16302252.
    Abstract:
    We report on a tuberculous child whose only presenting symptom was acute hemoptysis. His chest radiograph revealed a mass-like lesion occupying the posterior basal segment of the right lower lung field. Multidetector computerized tomography (MDCT) of the chest showed a hypodense mass supplied by the bronchial artery and drained by the pulmonary vein. Surgical specimens revealed caseating granulomatous inflammation, positive for acid-fast bacilli. The child was successfully treated with a short-course (6-month) regimen of antituberculous drugs.
