Tuberculosis in a Silica-exposed individual mimicking Lung Malignancy: A Case Report of Diagnostic Challenge

2026-05-29

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Silica exposure significantly increases the risk of tuberculosis and may obscure its diagnosis due to overlapping clinical and radiological features with other chronic lung diseases and malignancy. Case Presentation We report a 60-year-old male quarry worker with over 15 years of occupational silica exposure who presented with a chronic cough, weight loss, and progressive d...
