You mom’s report suggest tuberculosis. Pet Ct report mentions about lung lesions and pleura based lesions. Biopsy report of neck node is awaited. TB and malignancy can co-exist also. Can start anti TB treatment. Lets hope that the pathology report comes negative for malignancy.
Next Steps
Start ATT. Rule out malignancy in HPE report node.
