Abstract:
We report about 2 cases of isolated mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis presenting without parenchymal infiltrates. Although rare, this mode of presentation reminds the clinician that tuberculosis has to be included in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal masses even in the absence of parenchymal lesion. Both cases illustrate the value of mediastinoscopic examination to assess the diagnosis.
