“…4,15 One case of renal tuberculosis was seen in this study similar to that by Basnet et al 4 No case of renal tuberculosis were present in studies done by Suryawanshi et al and Bajaj et al 8,10 Only few cases of accidental discovery of isolated renal tuberculosis have been reported in the literature. 20 Three cases showed nephrosclerosis along with chronic pyelonephritis two of which were seen in the age group of 60 to 69 years and the remaining one in the age group of 30 to 39. Truong et al studied the nonneoplastic renal diseases in nephrectomy specimens removed for tumor and found that nephrosclerosis was the most commonly associated lesion which probably represented aging changes or due to association with hypertension seen in these group of patients.…”

Background: A variety of non-neoplastic diseases and both benign and malignant neoplasms occur in the kidney. Radiological studies like ultrasound, CT and MRI are useful to provide a preoperative diagnosis, but histopathological study still remains the gold standard for definite diagnosis. This study aimed to explore the histomorphological patterns of various kidney lesions in nephrectomy specimens. Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted in the department of Pathology at College of Medical Sciences, Bharatpur, Chitwan from the period of 1st August 2017 to 31st July 2022. 57 samples of nephrectomy specimens were received during the study period of five years and were included in the study. Results: Maximum number of patients undergoing nephrectomy were in the age group of 40 to 49 years. Non neoplastic lesions constituted 87.72% of the nephrectomy specimens while the remaining were neoplastic cases. Chronic pyelonephritis was the commonest non neoplastic lesion. The commonest neoplastic lesion was renal cell carcinoma followed by transitional cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusions: Chronic pyelonephritis is a preventable cause of nephrectomy which could be avoided with early diagnosis and no operative management. The commonest malignant neoplasm was renal cell carcinoma.

Highlights The second common presentation of extra pulmonary tuberculosis is urogenital tuberculosis. Most patients present with general symptoms, rarely they present like RCC. Suspicion of Tb is crucial to avoid missing UGTB for RCC particularly in epidemic countries. Renal cell carcinoma and genitourinary tuberculosis can coexist.

“…9,12,17,23,27 A rare case of association of renal TB with renal tumour was identified. 38 Few case reports of renal TB in paediatric patients were identified, including that of a 9-month-old. 9,18,23 Complications of renal TB include formation of sinuses and fistulae, psoas abscess, stricture formation in the renal collecting system, renal failure as well as arterial hypertension.…”

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a worldwide infectious disease burden, especially in non-developed countries, with increased morbidity and mortality among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. Extrapulmonary TB is rare and renal TB is one of the commonest manifestations. The end result of renal TB is end-stage renal disease; however, this can be avoided if the diagnosis is made early. The diagnosis of renal TB is challenging because of the non-specific presentation and low sensitivity of clinical tests. Although the sequel of TB infection in the kidney causes varying manifestations depending on the stage of the disease, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is capable of demonstrating early findings. We performed a 20-year scoping review of MDCT findings in renal TB to promote awareness.Aim: To identify specific MDCT imaging characteristics of renal TB, promote early diagnosis and increase awareness of the typical imaging features.Methods and material: We searched published and unpublished literature from 1997 to 2017 using a combination of search terms on electronic databases. We followed the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines.Results: A total of 150 articles were identified, of which 145 were found through electronic search engines and 5 were obtained from grey literature. Seventy-nine articles that fulfilled our inclusion criteria were reviewed. These included original research, case reports, literature review, organisational reports and grey literature.Conclusion: Multidetector computed tomography can reproduce images comparable with intravenous excretory urography; together with advantages of being able to better assess the renal parenchyma and surrounding spaces, it is important in suggesting the diagnosis of renal TB and clinicians should consider including MDCT when investigating patients with recurrent urinary tract infection not responding to usual antimicrobial therapy.
