Abstract

Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is considered the most effective adjunctive treatment available to treat superficial bladder carcinoma. Although BCG is well tolerated by most patients, it may be associated with adverse effects. One of these is BCG granulomas in the kidney. We herein report a case of a 52-year-old patient who, during a surveillance contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, was found to have multiple hypodense lesions in the left kidney. Ultrasound-guided biopsy proved it to be BCG granulomas. After 3 months of anti-tubercular treatment, a repeat CT showed complete resolution of the lesions.
