Figures & data

Figure 1 (a) enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes (blue arrows); (b) enlarged lymph nodes in the hilar and mediastinal diaphragm groups (blue arrows); (c) Multiple wall nodules in the right pleura and right pleural encapsulated effusion, right pleural encapsulated effusion and restrictive expansion insufficiency in the middle and lower lobes of the right lung (blue arrows); (df) multiple nodules in both lungs with infection; (gi) multiple slightly hypodense nodules in the liver (blue arrows).

Figure 2 Pathological findings:((a) supraclavicular lymph node biopsy; (b) pleural biopsy) granulomatous inflammation; (c) (liver biopsy) necrotizing granulomatous inflammation (acid-fast bacilli staining was positive); (d) cervical lymph node excisional biopsy: necrotizing granulomatous inflammation, consistent with TB (HES staining ((a) ×200. (b) ×200. (c) ×200. (d) ×100)).
