KARTHIK V C KARTHIK V C

Abstract


Extra-pulmonary sites account for 10 of
tuberculosis cases. Genito-urinary Tuberculosis
accounts for 30 to 40 of all extrapulmonary
tuberculosis second only to
tuberculous lymphadenitis. The early radiographic
findings of renal tuberculosis
are fuzzy calyx and moth-eaten appearance.
Later on, cavitations, calcifications
or a segmental hydronephrosis may develop.
This paper reports an unusual radiographic
appearance of a renal tuberculosis
presenting as a complex cyst.
