Coexistence of pulmonary tuberculosis and hydatid cyst
Abstract
Pulmonary hydatid cyst and tuberculosis are frequent but rarely coexistence diseases in our country. Twenty-year-old male patient admitted with cough, fever and chest pain. In his radiology, on the right lung anterobasal segment uniformly bounded, thick-walled cavity with heterogeneous density in the size of ~ 4x5 cm and next to it, nodular infiltrating views have been found. Cystotomy-capitonnage and wedge resection have been applied to the area of nodules. Histopathological examination has been reported as the coexistence of hydatid cyst and tuberculosis. We think that in the frequent places of these two diseases, in the event of establishment of tuberculosis if the operation isn’t a matter of urgency operating the patient after the two-week antituberculous treatment will decrease the postoperative complications.
