Pulmonary tuberculosis is reported to be higher in those patients with silicosis. The imaging appearances of the lungs, with all the architectural distortion and fibrosis, make it difficult to asses for tuberculosis, with the clinical picture being essential to raise suspicion for the associated infection. In this case, the multiple necrotic lymph nodes in the neck are highly suggestive of TB, and the cavitation in a conglomerate fibrotic mass points also for possible lung involvement. 

The multiple calcifications involving the imaged spleen can be attributed both to tuberculosis or silicosis.
