Abstract :

 SUMMARY

 

A 40–year–old woman presented with a 2 month history of a dull ache in her right flank along with recent onset of hypertension. There was no history suggestive of tuberculosis and examination was unremarkable. X–ray showed dense opacity in right renal area.

CT SCAN UROGRAPHY (PLAIN+CONTRAST) was done.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

Tuberculosis is one of the most common causes of mortality from infectious diseases especially in developing countries. Though pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common manifestation, renal tuberculosis is not uncommon in areas endemic to tuberculosis; however, presentation usually follows pulmonary tuberculosis. The consideration of renal tuberculosis in absence of any history of pulmonary tuberculosis is difficult and often misleads to the diagnosis of renal stone.
