Abstract

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs and can pose diagnostic challenges to physicians. This case report discusses a 23-year-old male who initially presented with signs suggestive of lung carcinoma. A pleural biopsy done confirmed a TB-related right pleura necrotizing granuloma that responded well to anti-TB medications.
