Abstract:
We analyzed 21 cases of coexistent pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer in the article. All these patients were operated on: pneumonectomy - 9 (42.8%), lobectomy - 8 (38.1%), and explorative thoracotomy - 4 (19%). The mortality was 9.5%. The development of cancer on the site of previous active tuberculosis and residence metatuberculosis changes was evident. This shows the importance of the control strategy of patients on going tuberculosis. CONCLUSIONS. Post tuberculosis pulmonary dysplasia is influenced not only by active pulmonary tuberculosis; in addition it can be influenced by post tubercular findings and sclerotic changes.
