Tuberculoma arising in the inguinal portion of the spermatic cord: a case report.

Abstract
A 50-year-old man was treated with excisional surgery for an asymptomatic inguinal spermatic cord mass. The lesion was proved to be tuberculous, and there was no apparent coexisting active disease elsewhere in the body. In addition to an intraoperative frozen-section examination, clinical findings of a strongly positive tuberculin skin test and normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate are considered to be helpful in establishing the diagnosis of a tuberculoma arising in either the scrotal or inguinal position.
