Abstract
We retrospectively analyzed a rare case of giant pleural tuberculoma. The patient was a female, 62 years old, admitted to hospital for intermittent fever and hemoptysis. The CT scan of the chest and abdomen showed a mass in the right thoracic cavity, and the uneven surface of the bilateral fallopian tubes. Routine blood tests showed a decrease in platelets, white blood cells, and hemoglobin. The mass in the chest was finally confirmed as a tuberculoma by biopsy. The patient was diagnosed with tuberculosis more than 9 years ago and had been treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs for more than 9 years, which caused damage to the liver, bone marrow and other organs, and led to the drug-resistant tuberculosis, making diagnosis and treatment more complex.
