Abstract
We report nine cases of elderly French patients (more than 65 years ol d) with bronchial tuberculosis. We report the clinical features, radio logical, and endoscopic aspects. The symptoms are non specific and may delay the diagnostic. The chest X-ray and endoscopic aspects are tumo r like. Retractile bronchial stenosis is a potential evolution.
