Article information

Se presentan cinco casos de tuberculosis y carcinoma broncogénico coincidentes en la misma localización pulmonar.

Se comentan las dificultades diagnósticas radiológicas haciendo hincapié en la necesidad de un abordaje conjunto de la lesión pulmonar con técnicas agresivas de biopsia y toma de muestras para cultivos.

Adjuntamos otro caso de coincidencia de carcinoma laríngeo con adenopatías tuberculosas regionales.

We report on five cases with both tuberculosis and bronchogenic carcinoma in a coincident pulmonary location.

X-ray diagnostic difficulties are discussed and the need for a global approach to pulmonary findings, including biopsy and sampling for cultures, is emphasized.

An additional case of coincident laryngeal carcinoma and tuberculosis regional lymph node involvement is also reported.
