The material of 97 pulmonary resections for large caseous focuses of tuberculosis was compared to relevant x-ray and morphological evidence. Roentgenologically, caseous-necrotic foci may be stable for a long time (6-12 months) in spite of the absence of the fibrous capsule. In view of these findings, x-ray potentialities in the diagnosis of the process form and phase are considered.
