| Sumario: | Endobronchial stenosis in patients with
tuberculosis is one of the sequels described by
this pathology, although the association between
TB and the development of cancer has been
studied for years and its relationship is not
known. The stenosis occurs 10 to 40% when the
TBC is endobronchial, it affects main bronchial
tubes in 60-95%, the stenosis is usually greater
when the diagnosis and the treatment of the TBC
are delayed. It presents as a gelatinous and
polypoid white lesion in its scarring phase, it can
also present as a caseous, hyperemic,
fibrostenotic, granular, tumor or ulcerative
lesion. This is due to the involvement of lymph
nodes and fistulization to the adjacent bronchi.
A case of a 60-year-old man with a history of
intermittent asthma and hypertension with a
diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis presenting
partial stenosis of the right source bronchus is
presented. We emphasize the importance of
early diagnosis and treatment. |
