Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is well known as a diagnostic chameleon as it has often been found to mimic malignancy in its clinical and radiological features. Although the differences between pulmonary TB and lung cancer have been highlighted in various reports, TB often gets misdiagnosed as lung cancer and vice versa. It is therefore extremely important to discern the features of Pulmonary Tuberculosis and lung cancer. This case highlights the importance of early detection and prompt treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in a health care worker. After initiating the patient on antituberculosis treatment, as a case of clinically diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis, he responded to treatment and showed good clinical and radiological improvement.
