Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) prevalence has increased over the past few decades, especially in the developing world. The genitourinary tract is the most common extra-pulmonary location of TB. Symptoms of genitourinary TB are often vague. Diagnosis of genitourinary TB requires a high level of clinical suspicion. Healthcare providers must be familiar with genitourinary TB imaging features on different imaging modalities and how to correlate these findings with urine studies and histologic analysis to definitively diagnose genitourinary TB.
