CASE REPORT ON A RARE AND UNPRECEDENTED CLINICAL OCCURRENCE: COEXISTING LUNG CANCER, PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS WITH MEDIASTINAL LYMPHADENITIS, PULMONARY SCLEROSING PNEUMOCYTOMA SUCCESSFULLY TREATED AT THE NATIONAL LUNG HOSPITAL IN 2024
Main Article Content
Abstract
Co-occurrence of lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis is rare in clinical practice, with symptoms often being nonspecific. Treatment is complex due to drug interactions and potential adverse effects. Pulmonary Sclerosing Pneumocytoma is an uncommon condition, with surgical resection being the primary treatment. In this report, we present the case of a 74-year-old female patient admitted with symptoms of cough, weight loss, and persistent chest pain. The patient was preoperatively diagnosed with stage I lung cancer coexisting with pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma. Post-surgery, she was also found to have coexisting pulmonary tuberculosis with mediastinal lymph node. Methods: Case report and literature review. Results: The patient was successfully treated with surgery and anti-tuberculosis medication. Conclusion: This is the first reported case in the literature of successful treatment of a patient with coexisting lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis with mediastinal lymphadenitis, and pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma at the National Lung Hospital.
