Genitourinary tuberculosis (TB) is the second most common form of extrapulmonary
TB after peripheral lymphadenopathy. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman
referred for hydronephrosis discovered on ultrasound performed due to flank pain.
Contrast computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a well-circumscribed cystic
mass with enhancing septations at the inferior pole of the right kidney,
concerning for malignancy. Following extirpative surgery, she was diagnosed with
renal TB.
