ABSTRACT
A case of right-sided abdominal lump in a 15-year male was presented. Radiological investigations revealed a solid rounded lesion affecting the upper pole of the right kidney with peripheral rim calcification. After radical nephrectomy, histopathological examination uncovered renal cell carcinoma (clear cell variety) with well capsulated rim calcification. There was no tumour extension/involvement of renal vein and ureter. Postoperative period was uneventful.

Though abdominal tuberculosis is fairly common in our country, incidence of tuberculous hepatitis is rare. The authors reported a case who presented to the surgical OPD of the NRS Medical College, Calcutta with complaints of right upper quadrant abdominal pain, flatulent dyspepsia, nausea and occasional vomiting. Ultrasonography (USG) revealed fibrotic gall bladder without any calculus suggesting chronic acalculus cholecystitis. On exploration of the abdomen, the gall bladder was found to be fibrotic and thickened without any calculus. Multiple scarred nodules of different sizes were found in the liver. Cholecystectomy was done and a scarring nodule from the liver was taken for histopathological examination which revealed a tuberculous granuloma. Histopathology of the gall bladder showed cholesterosis. The patient responded to antituberculous drugs.
