dc.description.abstractPulmonary embolism is occlusion of pulmonary arteries with a material originating from another part of the body and has a high fatality rate if not diagnosed and managed early. Tuberculosis is an infection caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis, generally effecting lungs but involvement of other parts of the body is possible. Here we report a sixty three years old woman who admitted to our clinic with complaints of shortness of breath, weight loss and night sweats. Weight loss and night sweats in old age were suggestive of a malignancy but tumor markers were negative. Low oxygen saturation in a non-smoking previously healty person arise suspicion of pulmonary embolism. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography revealed lymphadenopathy and pulmonary embolism. Pathology of the servical lymph node revealed caseation necrosis. In conclusion in patients with pulmonary embolism who has weight loss and low oxygen saturation beside the malignancy tuberculosis also should be excluded.
