ABSTRACT
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.
