Abstract:
A 71-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with polycystic deformations in the left pulmonary hilus in the mediastinum, found in a routine chest X-ray. The patient had earlier been treated for pulmonary tuberculosis. Mediastinotomia was performed and thin-walled cysts with a creamy type of pus were found. Microbiological examinations revealed evidence of tubercle bacilli. Medical treatment for tuberculosis was begun, which led to recovery with regression of the cysts.
