In Italy tuberculosis is a relatively rare disease and people coming from developing nations are usually affected. The radiological findings are variable and depend on the tuberculosis activity, if primary or post-primary. In literature, few data are reported about the co-existence of COVID-19 and lung tuberculosis. In this case report, authors describe the imaging features of latent lung tuberculosis in a patient with SARS-CoV-2 disease. The important role of CT imaging in identifying and diagnosing other infectious lung diseases presenting in the setting of the polymorphism and severity of SARS-CoV-2 disease is also discussed.

ABSTRACT: Iliopsoas bursitis is characterized by distension of the iliopsoas muscle bursa due to synovial fluid and/or hypertrophic synovium. Hip disease is usually associated with it, however, isolated bursitis is also present. Clinically Diagnosing iliopsoas bursitis can be difficult, and imaging is usually required to differentiate iliopsoas bursitis from other inguinal masses such as lymphadenopathy, hernias, and tumors. We present the case of a 45-year-old athletic patient who underwent diagnostic examination for recurrent right hip pain and a recent development (last 3 months) of a bulky right inguinal mass.
