Abstract:
Misleading presentations of lepidic adenocarcinomas (ADC) often lead to diagnostic delays, potentially reducing the chances of curative treatment. We report a case of mucinous lepidic ADC that mimicked pulmonary tuberculosis and was diagnosed at a late stage. The tumor showed no epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement and was characterized by bilateral pulmonary involvement without distant metastases. Through this case, the authors emphasize the need to consider lepidic ADC in cases of chronic pulmonary consolidation, despite atypical radio-clinical presentations that may be encountered in routine practice.

Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
