Abstract
|
|
|
|
When the infection occurs in other parts of the body it is called extrapulmonary tuberculosis. About 15% of tuberculosis cases are extrapulmonary. Tuberculous lymphadenitis is the most commonly occurring form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and skeletal tuberculosis most often involves the spine, followed by tuberculous arthritis in weight-bearing joints and extraspinal tuberculous osteomyelitis. Genitourinary tuberculosis contributes to 10-20% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. A 59 year old woman was admitted with lower back pain and lower urinary tract symptoms. A CT scan showed focal enhancing wall thickening in the left proximal ureter with left hydronephrosis and multiple enlarged lymph nodes. The Radiologic and pathologic diagnosis revealed genitourinary tuberculosis with the other extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
