ABSTRACT
A 63-year-old man was referred because of a history of cough and ill-defined consolidation on the chest X-ray. His sputum status for acid-fast bacilli, DNA PCR, and culture examination for Mycobacterium tuberculosis was positive. He received daily antituberculous therapy, and the consolidation on the X-ray improved steadily. Nine months after the end of treatment, an enlargement of the remained lesion on the chest X-ray was observed. Bronchoscopy revealed intrabronchial polypoid tumor. Pulmonary lobectomy was performed and atypical carcinoid was proved. Pulmonary carcinoid tumor combines with pulmonary tuberculosis very rarely. To our knowledge, a case that both carcinoid and tuberculosis exist in the same region of the lung has never been described previously in literature.
