Endobronchial Tuberculosis Simulating Lung Cancer and Healing without Bronchial Stenosis
Endobroncheal tuberculosis is defined as tuberculous infection of the tracheobronchial tree with microbial and histopathological evidence. The disease is usually mistaken for other lung diseases including lung cancer. Bronchial stenosis is a common complication of this type of tuberculosis despite t...
