Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) may coexist with lung cancer and share some similarities with these conditions. Thus, multidisciplinary team from infectious department doctors and oncologists to share their opinion in the treatment this case. The purpose of this paper is to present a case of Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC- squamous type), including the description of the risk factors, the diagnostics and the treatment line. The patient was diagnosed with NSCLC depending on imaging, pathology and immunophenotyping. After the failure of chemotherapy treatment of lung cancer, systemic anti-tuberculosis was initiated with moderate effect.
Keywords: Pulmonary Tuberculosis; Non-small cell lung cancer; Immunophenotyping
