Difficulties in the Diagnosis of Coexistent Bronchogenic Carcinoma and Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis

P. WAYL M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 Chest Department of Rothschild Hadassah University Hospital.

1. The incidence of cancer of the lung has been increasing rapidly, and its association with active pulmonary tuberculosis has therefore become more frequent.

2. Three cases of coexistent pulmonary tuberculosis and cancer are presented, including one in a man only 27 years old.

3. Atelectasis, or severe pain in the absence of pleural complications, accompanied by wheezing and hemoptysis, occurs more frequently in cancer of the lung than in tuberculosis.

4. Early bronchoscopy with repeated cytological examination of the aspirated material may help to detect coexisting carcinoma in cases of pulmonary tuberculosis.
