摘要：
We report 2 cases presenting with symptoms simulating malignancy. In the first patient, the initial diagnosis was lung carcinoma with lymph node metastasis while, the second patient showed lobulated mass posterior to lower lobe bronchus with paralysis of left vocal cord. Biopsy in both patients, showed caseating granuloma compatible with pulmonary tuberculosis. Both responded to antituberculosis chemotherapy.
