We report a case of a middle-aged woman presenting with cough, non-specific chest pain, and intermittent haemoptysis for the past month. Further examination and investigations led to a diagnosis of endobronchial tuberculosis. The diagnosis is often not straightforward, and a high index of clinical suspicion is essential, as delayed diagnosis can result in severe complications.

Keywords –  EBTB – Endobronchial tuberculosis, AFB – Acid-fast bacilli, CT – Computed tomography,
