Genitourinary tuberculosis, the most common extrapulmonary site, presents diagnostic challenges. This review details its pathological and radiological features for improved understanding.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) is the most frequent manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
  • Diagnosis of GUTB is frequently challenging due to nonspecific symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the pathological and radiological findings in genitourinary tuberculosis.
  • To aid clinicians in diagnosing GUTB by highlighting key disease features.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on genitourinary tuberculosis.
  • Analysis of pathological characteristics.
  • Compilation of typical and atypical radiological findings.

Main Results:

  • Pathological findings include granulomatous inflammation and caseation specific to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
  • Radiological findings vary depending on the affected genitourinary organ (kidneys, bladder, prostate, testes).
  • Common imaging features include renal parenchymal lesions, calyceal distortion, bladder wall thickening, and prostatic granulomas.

    • Conclusions:

    • Genitourinary tuberculosis requires high clinical suspicion for timely diagnosis.
    • Integrated understanding of pathological and radiological features is crucial for effective management.
    • Further research into advanced diagnostic modalities for GUTB is warranted.
