A 53-year-old diabetic woman with the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome was admitted to our hospital with symptoms of anorexia, malaise, fatigue, night sweats, and weight loss. The radiological evaluation revealed waxing and waning pulmonary nodules. A diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis was reached by pathologic examination of a wedge biopsy. We did not find a similar case in the literature. Clinicians should keep tuberculosis in mind as a possible etiology of waxing and waning pulmonary nodules.
一名53岁的糖尿病女性,诊断为骨髓增生异常综合征,因厌食、不适、疲劳、盗汗和体重减轻症状入住我院。影像学评估显示肺部结节大小有变化。通过楔形活检的病理检查确诊为肺结核。我们在文献中未发现类似病例。临床医生应将肺结核视为肺部结节大小变化的可能病因。
