The Deceptive Mask: Poorly Differentiated Sarcoma Masquerading as Disseminated Tuberculosis and Invasive Fungal Infection

2026-07-10

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>In tuberculosis-endemic regions, bilateral pulmonary nodules with hemoptysis in a young patient reliably trigger infectious workup. We report a 33-year-old immunocompetent male whose diagnosis was anchored by a trace GeneXpert Ultra result for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and a positive bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) galactomannan. Failure to respond to maximal anti-infective therapy prompt...
