  • Title: Endobronchial tuberculosis simulating bronchogenic carcinoma in a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
    Author: Maguire GP, Delorenzo LJ, Brown RB, Davidian MM.
    Journal: Am J Med Sci; 1987 Jul; 294(1):42-4. PubMed ID: 3605189.
    Abstract:
    A patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) had tuberculosis present as an endobronchial mass simulating bronchogenic carcinoma. Endobronchial tuberculosis may be another unusual manifestation of tuberculosis in patients with AIDS. This manifestation of tuberculosis may be missed unless there is a high degree of suspicion. Proper cultures and biopsy specimens should be taken from sites where endobronchial abnormalities are noted in patients at risk for AIDS.
