Imaging findings
A chest radiograph shows a left hilar mass, indicative of lymphadenopathy.
Key takeaways
In children, primary pulmonary tuberculosis commonly presents as isolated lymphadenopathy, often in the right paratracheal or right hilar regions (though left hilar in this case). Lymphatic clearance theories might explain right-sided predominance. It typically responds well to standard antituberculous treatment.
