A Rare Case of Co-existing Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma and Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria
Cureus(2023)
Abstract
A solitary pulmonary mass is commonly associated with malignancy; however, the possibility of co-existence with a pulmonary infection is rarely considered. Here, we present an extraordinary case, underscoring the importance of considering the possibility of concurrent lung cancer even when a bronchoscopy examination and bronchial lavage yield a positive mycobacterium culture result.
