Endobronchial lesions can portray symptoms in different ways. Endobronchial Tuberculosis is one of these lesions.</p><p id="idm46041443854224">Case Report:An HIV-positive, untreated 26-year-old patient with fever, cough, and dyspnea consulted our clinic. In the chest X-ray taken, effusion on the right side and non-homogeneous density increase in the middle and upper lobes, bilaterally more prominent on the right side, were observed. Therefore, the patient underwent bronchoscopy because the CT (computerized tomography) showed mediastinal lymphadenopathy (LAP) and an endobronchial lesion in the left main bronchus. During bronchoscopy, a vegetative endobronchial lesion that causes obstruction in the left main bronchus was monitored. With the help of Pathology and PCR results, endobronchial tuberculosis was diagnosed.</p><p id="idm46041443858192">Conclusion:Even if Acid-alcohol-resistant Bacillus (ARB) is detected negative in patients who stop responding to antimicrobial treatment and are being monitored under radiological scanning, a distinctive diagnosis of endobronchial tuberculosis should be kept in mind while performing bronchoscopy.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>HIV</kwd><kwd>endobronchial tuberculosis</kwd><kwd>bronchial carcinoma</kwd><kwd>kaposi sarcoma</kwd><kwd>lymphoma</kwd><kwd>endobronchial aspergillosis.</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Judson MA, Sahn SA.
