ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To probe into and improve the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis (TB) in the male genital system.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifteen patients with the male genital system TB established by microbiological and pathological examinations were retrospectively reviewed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The male genital system TB was diagnosed by history, physical examination, semen analysis, TB culture and biopsy. Treatment consisted of antituberculous chemotherapy for all the patients before and/or after operation, including 5 cases of epididymectomy and 6 cases of orchi-epididymectomy.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The male genital system TB tends to be atypical and semen polymerase chain reaction of TB (TB-PCR) may provide a new specific means for diagnosis in case of clinical suspicion. Surgical approaches should be cautiously adopted, especially for young patients.</p>
