Summary: Organ transplant recipients are at the increased risk of infection complications. Herein, we
present a case of unusual localisation of tuberculosis in renal allograft recipient treated by combination
of cyclosporine A, mycophenolate mofetil and steroids. After the non specific prodromes,
surgery due to ileus discovered ileocaecal tumour. Microscopically tuberculosis inflammatory
process with ulcerations of the intestinal mucosa and caseification of the lymphatic nodes, instead
of the expected lymphoma was proved to be present. We are discussing the incidence of
tuberculosis in relation to immunosuppressive therapy as well as possible pathways of tuberculosis
transmission.
