Abstract
- Genitourinary tuberculosis is the most common manifestation of an extrapulmonary tuberculous infection. The most common site of genital tuberculosis is the epididymis, but testicular tuberculosis is very rare. A 30 year old patient presented with a painless right testicular mass. Under the clinical diagnosis of a right testicular tumor, a right radical inguinal orchiectomy was performed. The pathological diagnosis revealed testicular tuberculosis, without involvement of the epididymis.
