초록
Next to lymphatic involvement, genitourinary tuberculosis is considered the second most common manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis worldwide. However,testicular and spermatic cord involvement is uncommon. We report here on a case of testicular and spermatic cord tuberculosis that masqueraded as testicular cancer. A 25-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with painless right scrotal swelling for past 2 months. The abdominal CT scan showed a heterogenous testicular mass that was suspicious for being malignancy. He underwent right radical orchiectomy;testicular and spermatic cord tuberculosis was revealed on histopathological examination. This case highlights the importance of taking a thoughtful diagnostic approach for testicular and spermatic cord tuberculosis, including fine needle aspiration before performing surgical exploration.
Abstract
Next to lymphatic involvement, genitourinary tuberculosis is considered the second most common manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis worldwide.

A 25-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with painless right scrotal swelling for past 2 months. The abdominal CT scan showed a heterogenous testicular mass that was suspicious for being malignancy. He underwent right radical orchiectomy;testicular and spermatic cord tuberculosis was revealed on histopathological examination. This case highlights the importance of taking a thoughtful diagnostic approach for testicular and spermatic cord tuberculosis, including fine needle aspiration before performing surgical exploration.
