Isolated testicular tuberculosis masquerading as a testicular tumor
Journal Title: Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Tuberculosis is a major cause of morbidity and a persisting public health problem in the developing countries. Testicular tuberculosis particularly in isolated form is extremely rare. We report an unique case of testicular tuberculosis in a 20year old male patient who presented in a painless right testicular swelling and whose clinical, radiological and biochemical parameters indicated a germ cell tumor. However, the histopathology revealed a tubercular lesion underlining the necessity of an element of suspicion for tuberculosis even in testicular swellings particularly in the developing countries. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2015;5(2): 76-78 Key words: Tuberculosis, testis, germ cell tumor
