Abstract
Pathomorphosis of tuberculosis and other lung diseases that have a similar clinical radiological and morphological picture leads to considerable difficulties and mistakes in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary processes. In particular, there are difficulties in the differential diagnosis of neuroendocrine lung tumors (NET) and pulmonary tuberculosis.
A clinical case of timely diagnosis of a neuroendocrine tumor in a young female patient without clinical symptoms typical for NETs has been described. The main manifestations revealed by chest CT scanning were single focal consolidations. The diagnosis was confirmed by histological studies of surgery samples.
