A unilateral, apical, pulmonary infiltrate was seen in an Air Force weapon systems officer stationed in the Philippines as an initial presentation of pulmonary sarcoidosis. The most obvious diagnosis for that geographic area is tuberculosis. Diagnosis must be pursued to evaluate all differential possibilities, with resort to open-lung or bronchoscopic biopsy, if necessary.
一名驻守在菲律宾的美国空军武器系统军官最初被诊断为肺部结节病，表现为单侧、肺尖部的肺部浸润。在该地区最容易想到的诊断是肺结核。必须进行诊断以评估所有可能的鉴别诊断，必要时可采用开胸肺活检或支气管镜活检。
