Age ,smoking status is required??
Mass is less likely to be in TB,,,Sputum or BAL analysis is needed for the confirmation of T.B.
if possible upload Xray or CT images.

Needs CT chest with contrast and BAL for AFB and cytology to reach the final diagnosis, would not recomend TB drugs at the moment.
Take an online or physical consultation for further guidance.

Very limited information.Any mass in chest should be investigated.If he is already on TB medications,follow it.Many chest physicians are performing Bronchoscopy & it’s not dangerous,rather fairly a safe procedure
