Tuberculosis in endemic areas is likely to be overdiagnosed in patients with atypical clinical and imaging findings mimicking tuberculosis, as in our case of angiosarcoma. Detailed history, physical examination, imaging, and histopathology avert diagnosis of tumors as tuberculosis in resource-limited settings, where countless diseases have common clinical and imaging presentations.
在地方流行区,对于临床和影像学表现不典型、类似结核病的患者,如我们所诊治的血管肉瘤病例,结核病很可能被过度诊断。在资源有限的环境中,详细的病史、体格检查、影像学检查和组织病理学检查有助于避免将肿瘤误诊为结核病,因为在这种环境下,无数疾病都有共同的临床和影像学表现。
