Figure 3 A 68-year-old woman with PCT and pulmonary tuberculosis. A patchy shadow was found in the middle right lobe on chest radiographs (A, white arrowheads) and CT images (long white arrows; B, lung window; C, mediastinal window). A 6.0×4.0×2.0 cm lung section was obtained and a sallow nodule was found. Several tuberculoid nodules and carcinoid tumorlets (D, E, black arrows) were observed in histopathological examination. Tumorlets consisted of a comparatively uniform population of cells with oval or spindle nuclei.
