Basra Journal of Surgery, September 2002 Abstract: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is endemic in Iraq with its incidence progressively increasing under the influence of the sanction since 1990. Nevertheless, the diagnosis of PTB should not be made easily without the appropriate investigations. Otherwise, the correct diagnosis of important thoracic disorder (sometimes a serious one like malignancy) may be missed. In this study, six patients with different benign and malignant thoracic lesions chosen among many others are presented. All of them were misdiagnosed and five were treated as tuberculosis. The study reminds the clinician in TB endemic areas that TB can be simulated by many thoracic lesions.
