Pulmonary tuberculosis is an endemic infectious disease. The symptomatology of tuberculosis is non-specific, giving varied presentations. When the clinical context is evocative and the lung lesions are multiple and evocative, imaging can guide the diagnosis. Pulmonary tuberculosis is rarely revealed by a solitary nodule, in this case, when the biological features are not contributory, the diagnosis can be performed by lung biopsy with histological study. We report the case of a 47-year-old-female patient presenting with a solitary cavitary lung mass whose biopsy revealed pulmonary tuberculosis.
