Bronchogenic Carcinoma Masked by Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Case Report

J. R. PHILLIPS M.D., F.C.C.P. and J. W. MORRISON M.D.

1) Bronchogenic carcinoma may be easily masked by pulmonary tuberculosis.

2) The incidence of coexisting bronchogenic carcinoma and pulmonary tuberculosis likely occurs more often than is generally believed.

3) The association of the two diseases is probably coincidental.

4) A case report is given of pulmonary disease existing for a period of four years in which pneumonectomy was finally performed. Two diseases were found to exist in the same lung. The tuberculosis was thought to have preceeded the cancer by a considerable period of time.

5) The problems encountered and methods used in the diagnosis are discussed.

6) Very early diagnosis and total pneumonectomy offer the only chance for survival.
