Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is less common in developed countries; however, the incidence of TB-especially resistant strains-is on the rise worldwide. Cases of TB manifesting as urologic complications are rare in the United States. Urologists should be aware of this potential manifestation, especially in patients who have recently immigrated to the United States or have traveled abroad for prolonged periods. Two cases are presented here to illustrate this entity.Entities:
