The two particular features were: displacement by the tumour or calcifications in this known mastic kidney, and the poor vascularisation of a necrosed tumour irrigated by an artery of small calibre. The association of tuberculosis and carcinoima, although rare, is no less well known: discovery of a carcinoma in a nephrectomy specimen (for tuberculosis), discovery of tuberculosis in the parenchyma around a carcinoima of the kidney. The rarest possibility remains that of development of a carcinoma of the kidney in a kidney non-functioning and mastic for years, but is sufficiently rare not to be an argument in favour of the excision of all non-functional tuberculous kidneys after adequate antituberculous therapy.
