“…Diagnosis of renal tuberculosis is difficult and often delayed [8], as it usually manifests with nonspecific symptoms, such as pyuria, dysuria, fever, weight loss and flank pain, as it can be revealed by a mass, usually due to hydronephrosis of the kidney involved, whereas the pseudo-tumor presentation of renal tuberculosis is an extremely rare entity [3,9] which poses a differential diagnostic problem with kidney cancer and pseudotumor xantho-granulomatous pyelonephritis [10].…”

Background Renal lesion is a very frequent location of tuberculosis disease, the diagnosis of which is often difficult and delayed due to its atypical clinical presentations, especially in its pseudo-tumoral form. Case presentation Patient of 54 year old was referred after a kidney mass was found on an abdominal ultrasound. In addition, the patient reported the notion of minimal intermittent low back pain with weight loss. On computed tomography, it was a nodular lesion of the superior pole of the right kidney, and it has a heterogeneous density and a suspicious appearance. A total nephrectomy was performed by subcostal incision. Pathological examination of the specimen revealed the presence of diffuse gigantocellular granulomas with caseous necrosis suggestive of renal tuberculosis. Conclusion Despite the rarity of this form, renal tuberculosis should always be thought in order to avoid radical treatment.

The association of renal cancer and renal tuberculosis is uncommon. While the incidental discovery of renal cell carcinoma in a tuberculous kidney is a classical finding, the discovery of tuberculous lesions after nephrectomy for cancer is exceptional. We report the case of a female patient aged 60 who had a partial nephrectomy for a 5 cm exophytic kidney tumor. Pathological examination concluded that renal clear cell carcinoma associated with follicular caseo tuberculosis.

“…A surgical removal of the mass is typically required as diagnosis is often suspected intraoperatively and confirmed only on histopathology (1,5). Surgery must be followed by anti-tuberculous therapy for at least 8 months (1,5). Complications involve ureteral stenosis, hydronephrosis and hypertension.…”

Genitourinary Tuberculosis (TB) is a rare extra pulmonary manifestation of TB. We report a patient who presented with right flank pain and weight loss. Imaging revealed a solid mass at the lower pole of the right kidney. A partial nephrectomy was performed and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of pseudo-tumoral renal tuberculosis. Patient had a good outcome after antituberculous therapy. This form of TB must be considered in the differential diagnosis of renal mass particularly in areas where TB is endemic.
