Autopsy of a 48 y.o. man revealed a round formation 5 cm in diameter with clear-cut outlines in the region of the 1st segment of his right lung. This formation was encircled with a thin layer of connective tissue full of white brittle masses. Make a diagnosis of the secondary tuberculosis form:
- A. Fibrous cavernous tuberculosis
- B. Tuberculoma
- C. Acute cavernous tuberculosis
- D. Caseous pneumonia
- E. Acute focal tuberculosis
Hint
Focus on size and encapsulation: a large, sharply outlined round caseous mass walled off by fibrous tissue, rather than a cavity or a spreading pneumonic infiltrate.
