    Tuberculosis can present as angiocentric necrotising granulomas in adolescents. Prompt anti-tuberculous therapy led to a cure, highlighting the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Pathology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Pulmonary nodules in adolescents can present diagnostic challenges.
    • Angiocentric necrotising granulomas are a rare histopathological finding.
    • Differentiating infectious from non-infective causes is crucial for treatment.

    Observation:

    • An open-lung biopsy in a 15-year-old girl revealed angiocentric necrotising granulomas.
    • No acid-fast bacilli (AFB) were identified in tissue samples.
    • Pulmonary tuberculosis was suspected despite negative microbiological results.

    Findings:

    • Anti-tuberculous therapy resulted in complete clinical and radiological cure within 12 months.
    • The patient's response to treatment supported the diagnosis of tuberculosis.

  • Histopathology alone was insufficient for definitive diagnosis.

    • Implications:

    • Pulmonary tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of angiocentric necrotising granulomas.
    • Non-infective conditions like lymphomatoid granulomatosis share similar histopathological features.
    • Accurate diagnosis has significant implications for patient management and therapeutic strategies.
