    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Oncology
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • A 52-year-old female presented with symptoms suggestive of malignancy, including fever and lymphadenopathy.
    • Initial diagnostic workup, including lymph node biopsy and bone marrow aspiration, failed to establish a definitive diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • During hospitalization, the patient developed abscesses with fistulae.
    • Tubercle bacilli were identified in the pus from a subcutaneous abscess, confirming tuberculosis.

    Findings:

    • The patient's condition progressed, leading to esophageal wall necrosis.
    • Massive bleeding occurred due to perforation into the thoracic aorta, ultimately causing death.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of including tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with persistent fever and lymphadenopathy.
    • Delayed diagnosis of tuberculosis can lead to severe complications and increased mortality.
