Abstract

Tuberculous epididymo-orchitis, a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, results from hematogenous dissemination or retrograde extension from the lower urinary tract. Herein, we studied the case of a 22-year-old male patient who presented with refractory left scrotal pain and inflammation. The patient also complained of multifocal pain involving the right buttock, posterior thigh, and right wrist, without trauma history. The patient was diagnosed with multifocal tuberculosis by sputum AFB study and right sacroiliac joint biopsy.
