Renal tuberculosis is a rare and often under-recognized condition, frequently leading to delayed diagnosis due to its nonspecific symptoms and atypical clinical presentation. We report a case of renal tuberculosis initially masquerading as a renal cystic tumor in a 56-year-old woman. This case highlights the crucial importance of a thorough clinical and diagnostic approach to differentiate renal tuberculosis lesions from renal cystic tumors. Early and appropriate management of this condition can help avoid complications and improve patient prognosis.
