ABSTRACT
Xanthogranulomatous epididymitis is an atypical form of severe destructive epididymal infection, characterized by massive inflammatory cell and foamy histiocyte microscopically. We report two cases of xanthogranulomatous epididymitis that presented as epididymal inflammation with fluid collection in old aged patients, and resulted in orchiectomy. We suggest that xanthogranulomatous epididymitis should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis in epididymitis with abscess formation.
