    Abstract:
    The paper analyzes morphological changes and results of surgical treatment in 515 patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis. Two hundred and seventy-four patients underwent mediastinal lymphadenectomy and in 241 patients lung resections or pneumonectomies were not followed by lymphadenectomy or solitary caseous molten lymph nodes were removed during an operation. In disseminated destructive pulmonary tuberculosis, active tuberculosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes (ILN) was found in 97%. The latter's significant signs are an enlarged lymph node of more than 2.0 cm, consolidation, periadenitis, and fluctuation. The incidence, extent, and pattern of ILN lesion varied in a lung tuberculous process depending on its site, form, and inflammation phase.
