Abstract
- Renal tuberculosis commonly involves the urinary tract and results in multifocal fibrosis and stricture. Rarely, it presents as a renal mass with or without urinary tract abnormality. The radiologic features of this rare pseudotumor have not been sufficiently described in the previous literature, and we now report a case of tuberculosis presenting as an isolated renal mass and multiple hepatic nodules without evidence of associated urinary tract abnormality. The condition mimicked malignant neoplastic disease and occurred in a patient who had undergone chemotherapy for leukemia.
