Sumario:We report the case of a 55-year-old male patient with concomitant pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma and reactivated tuberculosis, documented with multiple MSCT (multi-slice computed tomography) changes. The patient initially presented with productive cough, sluggishness, fatigue, voice hoarseness and tuberculosis changes in MSCT. Later, he was diagnosed with pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma, which was confirmed by sputum cytology and transthoracic biopsy. Therefore, clinicians should always evaluate the likelihood of simultaneous lung cancer in patients whose MSCT images suggest TB alterations in the lungs, and swiftly decide on the correct treatment and management approach.
