[Pulmonary tuberculoma in the North: pathomorphological study]

Autoptic specimens from tuberculosis patients operated on, delivered to the Laboratory of Pathomorphology, Institute of Tuberculosis, were used to examine quantitative changes, age-sex ratio, ethnicity, and admission of patients with pulmonary tuberculoma by climatic and geographical regions of Yakutia. The morphological types of tuberculomas, their numbers, size, activation, ratios by ethnicity were identified. Their clinical and morphological features were determined both by climatic and geographical conditions and the quality and nature of treatment, the distinguishing features of a contingent of patients. The pattern of the more severe process in the indigenous population calls for close attention and further study.
