Abstract

Genitourinary tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis that affects the kidneys, ureters, prostate, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, testes, and epididymis. Testicular tuberculosis is a very unusual form, We report a rare case of unilateral testicular tuberculosis that manifested as orchi-epididymitis. The main treatment for urogenital tuberculosis is antituberculosis therapy, possibly combined with surgery.
