A man of seventy-one years with gross respiratory failure was suspected of having a cancer of the right upper lobe with metastases to the right pretracheal and intertracheobronchial nodes. A diagnostic mediastinoscopy did not achieve a diagnosis, and a right sub-bronchial node biopsy was performed, using videothoracoscopy and this revealed the presence of tuberculosis without any further delay.
