Squamous cell carcinoma misdiagnosed and treated as tubercular consolidation of lung two case reports

Abstract

Carcinoma of lung can be covered up as pulmonary tuberculosis even in endemic areas like Bangladesh. Due to similarity of clinical presentation many patients with lung cancer may be wrongly treated as pulmonary tuberculosis. This case was presented because it was wrongly treated as pulmonary tuberculosis whereas he had lung cancer. We came to a definitive diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma depending upon USG guided FNAC.
