Abstract
A rare case of spontaneous nephrocutaneous fistula with renal tuberculosis is presented here. A 70 years old male with neglected stones in right kidney was investigated for discharging sinus right lumbar region of three months duration. Excretory urography revealed non-functioning right kidney and an impacted stone right upper ureter and a small stone in renal pelvis. The patient was successfully treated by nephroureterectomy and excision of the fistulous track followed by anti-tuberculous treatment. Histopathology of the specimen revealed renal tuberculosis. Though the incidence of various forms of tuberculosis is very high in this part of the world, presence of nephrocutaneous fistula is still uncommon.
