[Extrapulmonary tuberculosis: case of a 70-year-old woman suffering from cutaneous lymph node, renal and bone tuberculosis ].
We have described a case of a 70-year-old woman, treated for a pancreas cancer, which was diagnosed for many months because of atypical skin lesions, lymphadenopathy and progressing cachexia. Despite many autoimmunological, serological, histopathological, bacteriological and mycological examinations there was no diagnosis. Finally the case of extrapulmonary tuberculosis involving skin, lymph nodes, kidneys and bones was diagnosed. After the introduction of antituberculotic therapy we are observing some clinical improvement and regression of symptoms.
