Morphological analysis of 90 observations with a clinical diagnosis of a small peripheral lung carcinoma is performed. The examination of an operation material confirmed diagnosis in 71 cases. Tuberculomas are found in 19 cases. The peripheral lung carcinoma was found to develop in 91.5% (65 cases) against the background of preexisting scars which in 73.8% (48 cases) had a post-tuberculosis and 26.2% (17) post-pneumonia origin. Scars were most frequently related to the healed forms of a focal secondary tuberculosis (30 cases) and sclerotic changes around tuberculomas (8). Post-tuberculosis scars provoking sclerosis and deformation of vessels, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoles with the development of an epithelial dysplasia, are one of the risk factors in the development of a peripheral lung carcinoma. The degradation and fibrinoid changes of a scar tissue infiltrated by a tumour and followed by destruction of scars are observed in peripheral lung carcinomas with a diameter more than 3 cm.

Miliary tuberculosis is caused by the hematogenous spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and consists of 1.5% of all tuberculosis cases. It is seen mostly in infants because of the immature immune system, and central nervous system CNS involvement is not rare. Tuberculomas are rarely seen in the localized form of CNS tuberculosis, and only 4% are localized in the brain stem. We report a 4.5-month-old infant who deteriorated during follow-up with the diagnosis of cytomegalovirus pneumonia, and afterwards received the diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis. Although the baby had no neurologic abnormality and cerebrospinal fluid findings were normal, cranial MRI revealed contrast enhanced nodular lesions in pons, cerebellum, and right parietal region. The case is presented to intensify the importance of CNS investigation even if the patient with miliary tuberculosis has no neurologic finding.

The specific features of the pathogenesis of lung tuberculomas were studied in 302 patients among the indigenes and newcomers in the Far-North. The predominant formation of caseous foci from the tuberculous infiltrate located in the lung tissue in most cases was ascertained to be the specific feature of the development of lung tuberculomas under the conditions of a Far- North region, in Yakutia in particular. Tuberculoma formation shows a peculiar combination of evolving foci of acute specific pneumonia with a torpid inflammatory process, which contributes to the formation of multiple and large tuberculomas in the presence of significant pneumosclerosis. At the same time, homogeneous tuberculomas most commonly formed in both newcomers and indigenes.
