چکیده
We report a case of a 46-year-old man with pulmonary tuberculosis in whom a high-resolution CT findings consistent with a crazy paving pattern. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was made by lung biopsy and the detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis in the tissue culture. We suggested the pulmonary tuberculosis may present as the crazy-paving pattern on the HRCT in adult patients.
