Endobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB), is a tuberculous infection of the tracheobronchial tree. It is common among young adults and specifically females. It is a poorly understood phenomenon and diagnosis is frequently delayed as sputum smears are often false negative for acid fast bacilli with no clinical indicators, resulting in delayed diagnosis. It is a challenge to diagnose EBTB, as the chest X-ray in EBTB could appear to be normal and diagnostic confirmation can only be achieved by bronchoscopy along with biopsy and lavage sample. EBTB presenting as middle lobe syndrome (MLS) has rarely been documented in west is also a rare finding in Asia. Its early detection and prompt treatment can prevent complication. To the best of our knowledge, none of the study had reported the Patients with EBTB in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We hereby report a case of EBTB involving right middle and lower lung lobes in an immunocompetent young Filipino male. *Correspondence to: Farhan Khalid, MBBS, MRCP, Adult Hematology, Department of Oncology, King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh (KAMC-RYD) Ministry of National Guard, Saudi Arabia, E-mail: farhan253@gmail.com
