“…CT scan on spondylitis TB can be found disco-vertebral lesions and paravertebral abscesses and the spread of disease to the soft tissue that is more clearly seen on MRI. 17 Spine MRI for spondylitis TB is preferred because it can detect early marrow and paraspinal soft tissue changes. 18 Typical radiological fi ndings include vertebral end plates thinning, loss of disc height, bone destruction, new bone formation and soft tissue abscesses often involving multiple vertebral involvements, fusion and collapse.…”

“…18 Typical radiological fi ndings include vertebral end plates thinning, loss of disc height, bone destruction, new bone formation and soft tissue abscesses often involving multiple vertebral involvements, fusion and collapse. 17 Destruction of the sternum by the formation of abscesses found in patients can be caused by four mechanisms namely thickening of the pleura that causes the spread of TB germs in lymphogen, localized empyema of tuberculosis pleurisy, and spread of TB germs from the thoracic cavity due to medical measures, and hematogenous infi ltration due to milier TB. However, the results of AFB smear pus regional sternum in patients gave negative results.…”

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) of which attacking various organs particularly the lungs. Tuberculosis can occur together with malignancy or manifest as malignancy. Lung tuberculosis may appear in a variety of clinical and radiological manifestations caused by other diseases including tumors. These tumors are called pseudo-tumors. TB pseudo-tumor is a rare manifestation that can occur in immunocompetent patients in both primary and post-primary TB. The clinical presentation of TB pseudo-tumor is nonspecific and the clinical suspicion must be increased to diagnose related diseases. Radiological features can also be challenging to be distinguished from actual tumors. The classic manifestations of pulmonary TB are generally easy to diagnose due to the distinctive clinical and radiological characteristics nonetheless some pulmonary TB symptoms are also often found in patients with lung cancer. Infection patients resemble malignancies most were asymptomatic (> 27%) and the remaining 27% showed symptoms that varied with the average symptoms experienced about 1 month earlier. Clinical presentations that require a lot of misdiagnosis result in delayed treatment and unnecessary procedures. Establishing a diagnosis in cases of tuberculosis that causes malignancy is very important since the management and outcomes of the infection and malignancy process are quite diﬀerent. Consequently we report a 24-year-old man with tuberculosis possible lung cancer with multiple bone metastase. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis which attacks bones and joints constitutes 10% to 20% of all TB cases. The location of bone and joint TB generally develops in the lumbar or thoracic vertebrae

“…Phemister triad, consisting of periarticular osteoporosis, peripherally located osseous erosions, and gradual diminution of the joint space [3,5,13], although suggestive of TB arthritis [3,5,8], is nonspecific and may also be seen in cases of rheumatoid and fungal arthritis [3,12]. If left untreated, TB arthritis may lead to complete joint destruction and obliteration with fibrous ankylosis of the joint [3].…”

“…Caseous necrosis and granuloma formation are the hallmarks of disease progress, whereas healing is associated with calcification and fibrosis. 78 Abnormal findings may be confined to the kidney or distributed throughout the urinary tract. The earliest lesions affect the corticomedullary junction and tend to extend toward the papilla and pelvicalyceal system.…”
