    Abstract:
    A 27-year-old woman who had been treated for pulmonary tuberculosis with anti-tuberculosis drugs for three months was admitted to our hospital because of pain in the chest and back. Chest CT showed improvement in the pulmonary tuberculosis lesions in the right middle lobe and S8, but there was a large pleural mass in the right lower lung field. Histopathological findings of the percutaneous biopsy showed epithelioid cell granulomas that were negative for acid-fast bacilli. We diagnosed the mass as pleural tuberculoma with intrapulmonary invasion. The pleural tuberculoma improved without any additional therapy.
