Phlegmon of retroperitoneal tissue as a complication of cavernous renal tuberculosis

Abstract

Cellulitis of the retroperitoneal tissue is a rare complication of destructive tuberculosis of the kidney. The clinical picture of the disease is characterized by the absence of characteristic symptoms, which causes certain difficulties in determining the tactics and timeliness of surgical treatment. A clinical case of newly diagnosed cavernous renal tuberculosis complicated by phlegmonous tissue of the retroperitoneal space in an elderly patient with severe comorbid pathology is presented.
