*TB primary complex should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy in the pediatric age group.

So if you see a parenchymal lung lesion in a child with mediastinal lymph nodes showing areas of break down and calcification, this appearance could help you to suggest a TB primary complex lesion.

-Multiple lesions are usually suggestive of metastases or AVM, while the rest of the nodules are usually single.
