Abstract

A 24-year-old woman had a trauma at her knees five years prior to admission, since then intractable skin lesion has been persistent in the patellar region on both sides. This skin lesion was diagnosed as tuberculosis verrucosa cutis on biopsy. As she had burning on urination, the urological examinations were done which disclosed renal tuberculosis on the right side. Right nephrectomy was performed. The kidney had a tuberculous cavity in the lower pole. The chest x-ray showed bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy of low grade. Tuberculosis of the kidney secondary to that of the skin was briefly discussed.
