This seemed a high coincidence of the two conditions and prompted our examination of the literature for similar experiences.The association of bronchogenic carcinoma and pulmonary tuberculosis has been observed for over a century. Bayle (1810) has been credited with first noting the occurrence of the two diseases in the same lung, and stated that the diseases should be differentiated. Some authorities29feel Pinard (1846) or Schmieden gave the first true description of the associated diseases, since Bayle, in describing "phthisis cancereuse,"...Bibliography1.
