Miliary Tuberculosis Mimicking Multiple Myeloma: A Rare Case

Jaspreet Kaur, Tagru Raju, Yuvraj Singh Cheema, Jasmine Singh.


Abstract
Miliary tuberculosis or disseminated tuberculosis is one of India 's most typical forms of tuberculosis. It can have varied presentations, from classical pulmonary disease to affection of extra-pulmonary sites, the most common being the vertebral column. With a wide array of clinical manifestations, differentiating disseminated tuberculosis from common malignancies is no less than a herculean task for a clinician. Keeping a high index of clinical suspicion and detailed work up in the right direction can save the clinician and the patient from an exhaustive ordeal of futile investigations. Here, we present a rare case of miliary tuberculosis masquerading as a common malignancy of the elderly, re-emphasizing the need for a systematic approach to such confusing presentations. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2022; 12(2):74-77.

Key words: miliary tuberculosis, multiple myeloma, cryptic tuberculosis, CRAB
