Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. I have gone through the reports you have attached. Your CT (computed tomography) scan is suggestive of TB (tuberculosis) which is a kind of infection.

Was any sputum test for TB done? Have you taken any treatment for TB?

Please reply to me with answers to the above-asked questions.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Hello,

Thanks for your follow-up question on icliniq.com.

No, this does not indicate malignancy. This indicates TB is more likely.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Regards.
