Figure 1. Fragment of a tomogram of patient S. Tuberculoma in the axillary subsegment of the right lung. Localization is not typical for secondary tuberculosis, however, petrification in the center, deformation of the pulmonary pattern with single foci around and calcified regional lymph nodes facilitate diagnosis.

Figure 2. Fragment of the tomogram of the patient J. Hamartom in the 7th segment of the right lung. The nature of calcification (conglomerative-lumpy) is typical for hamartoma, and the absence of petrification in regional lymph nodes makes it possible to practically exclude tuberculosis.
