Abstract:
We report the case of a 60-year-old man with a destructive ipsilateral bronchial carcinoma after pneumonectomy performed for tuberculosis several decades previously. The diagnosis steps in this case report are demonstrated and the correlations between the two diseases are discussed. The early diagnosis of malignant processes after thoracotomy performed because of tuberculosis is emphasized.
