Abstract:
Objective To study CT diagnosis and differential diagnosis of endobronchial tuberculosis and central lung cancer.Methods CT features and differential diagnosis in 48 cases with pulmonary lesions confirmed by clinical and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results Of 48 cases,21 cases were endobronchial tuberculosis and 27 cases were central lung cancer including 20 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 7 cases of small-cell lung cancer.On CT,showing bronchiartia,nodules inside the lumen,the bronchial walls thickened,bronchus involved longer,not accompanied with masses around the affected bronchus,atelectasis and obstructive pneumonia with the bronchiectasis or cavities and calcification,which were strongly promised the endobronchial tuberculosis.And it pointed out the central lung cancer if bronchiartia was shorter,the bronchial walls were thickened clearly and accompanied with masses around the affected bronchus and atelectasis with homogeneous density.Conclusion CT is of certain value in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of endobronchial tuberculosis and central lung cancer.
