| description | Isolated testicular tuberculosis (TB) is rarely seen. A 72-year-old, farmer presented with complaints of discharging sinus from scrotum
along with pain and swelling. The patient had no sign of tuberculosis. On examination a hard mass arising from the left testis was noted
along with a discharging fistula on the overlying scrotal skin. Chest x-ray and ultrasound examination of the abdomen were within normal
limits. After assessing the testicular mass, an informed consent was taken thereafter left orchiectomy and fistulectomy performed.
Histopathological examination revealed caseating granulomas along with numerous Langhan’s giant cells consistent with tuberculous
orchitis. The patient received anti-TB treatment for six months. The rare involvement of testis by tuberculosis needs to be mentioned. |
