ABSTRACT
This report describes three cases of tumour-like pulmonary tuberculosis two patients had stage C3 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (with uncontrolled HIV-1 in one case) and one patient was immunocompetent. All patients initially presented with general and respiratory symptoms, with radiological findings simulating lung carcinoma. Tuberculosis was diagnosed from microbiological testing and/or histological examination results. A disseminated form was described in one case. All patients were treated successfully with antimycobacterial therapy, with control of HIV infection in both cases.
