title: Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma of the kidney associated with tuberculosis.
abstract: Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinomas (MTSCC) are low-grade renal epi-thelial neoplasms with approximately 100 documented cases reported in the literature. We report a case of MTSCC in a 79-year-old patient in association with a renal tuberculosis infection that has never been reported. Further investigations are needed to determine the frequency and true prognosis of these tumors.
