“…Flexible bronchoscopy is the best way to diagnose tracheobronchial nodulation. For example, tracheobronchial TB was diagnosed using this method in patients without parenchymal infiltration . Endobronchial TB is sometimes the final diagnosis causing a chronic cough of unknown reason, so early bronchoscopy is important .…”

“…Multiple nodules, however, are associated with various conditions. For example, amyloidosis , tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica (TO) , relapsing polychondritis, trachea‐bronchomegaly, endobronchial metastases (EBM) , sarcoidosis , neurofibromatosis, rheumatoid arthritis , tuberculosis (TB) and other granulomatous lesions, such as granulomatosis with polyangitis and lymphomas .…”

The major causes of mutinodule lesions observed using bronchoscopy are tumor and TB. The presence of multiple endotracheobronchial nodules suggest that pulmonary lesion is present, and biopsy should be performed. Malignant nodules can be diagnosed by appearance and biopsy. Pathology results of TB, sarcoidosis and fungal infection can turn out to be granuloma of unknown reason. Further diagnosis needs other clinical materials.

“…In the absence of parenchymal disease, endobronchial tuberculosis is less well-recognized and can lead to difficulties in diagnosis [ 10 ]. Persistent symptoms, history of household contact of tuberculosis, and developing new radiologic abnormality have suggested misdiagnosis of asthma in our case.…”

Endobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB) is defined as tuberculosis infection of the tracheobronchial tree with microbial and histopathological evidence. The clinical symptoms of the diseases are nonspecific. Chronic cough is the major symptom of the disease. The diagnosis is often delayed due to its nonspecific presentation and misdiagnosed as bronchial asthma. This case is presented to recall the notion that the endobronchial tuberculosis can mimic asthma and the importance of bronchoscopic evaluation in a patient with chronic cough and treatment resistant asthma.

“…In fact many sources of literature stress a marked prevalence in young females in Asia or recently migrated from the Far East [3,5,7,10]. Other reports underline other origins from India [11], Turkey [12,13] or from Arabian countries [14]. …”

“…In fact EBTB can simulate other clinical pictures like tumors [11,13], bronchial asthma [9], foreign bodies [7], recurrent pneumonia [20], while in other cases accurate diagnostic procedures are requested when a suspicion of actinomycosis or of bronchial sarcoidosis coexists [21,22]. …”
