Tuberculoma suggests that this is a small lump of calcified tissue produced in reaction to an infection with one the Tuberculosis(TB) strains. Treatment for TB can take up to 6 months and it is important to complete the treatment.
Some early symptoms are unexpected weight loss and night sweats.

It is a lesion of tuberculosis. As it is in the lung, treatment is required for about 8 months.
