Tuberculosis is a common disease but it keeps on surprising with its unique presentations. It has been reported as lung mass but here we are reporting a case of Tuberculosis presented as vasculitic lung mass. A 61 years old female, known case of hypertension and secondary Sjogren syndrome, on treatment, presented with history of mild dyspnea and generalised weakness with incidental finding of Right hilar mass on chest X-ray undergoes a CECT thorax and CT guided biopsy. Histopathology contrary to expectations revealed granulomatous vasculitis with no microbiological evidence of TB, responded to antitubercular treatment and there was almost complete regression of the lesion after 6 weeks of ATT.
