OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to show the importance of aneurysmal appearance of medium-sized bronchi observed at CT in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB).

CONCLUSION. Aneurysmal appearance of medium-sized bronchi is a CT feature of tuberculosis. In TB-endemic areas, the aneurysmal appearance of medium-sized bronchi at CT may suggest the diagnosis of TB.
