Tuberculoma of the spermatic cord

ABSTRACT

Objective and importance Tuberculoma of the intrascrotal cord is rare. There were only 8 other cases reported in the English literature. Clinical presentation A 40-year-old man presented with a painless mass in the left scrotal region. Preoperated frozen section showed it to be a tuberculous lesion. Intervention or technique The mass was excised in toto and the final histopathology confirmed the frozen section and antituberculous drugs were administered. An awareness of this condition would prevent an orchidectomy on the patient for a benign lesion
