[Tuberculosis and renal cancer].
The association of tuberculosis and renal adenocarcinoma is very uncommon. In general, the condition presents clinically, radiologically and biologically, as a tuberculosis while the diagnosis of renal carcinoma came as a pathoanatomical finding following nephrectomy. We contribute one case report of tuberculosis and renal adenocarcinoma in association that initially presented with tumoral signs and symptoms in a 34-year-old female patient. The patient, with no previous background, was later diagnosed TBC. A review is made on the pathogenesis, epidemiology and pathoanatomical diagnosis of tuberculosis. It is hypothesized that the tuberculosis damage may be a reactivation secondary to a renal tumour.
