RESUMEN
El tracto urogenital es una de las localizaciones más frecuentes de tuberculosis extrapulmonar, pero no es un hallazgo muy común en nuestra práctica clínica. En este tracto, la tuberculosis epididimaria, aunque rara, puede ser la primera y única localización clínica evidente de infección tuberculosa. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 67 años de edad con una masa paratesticular, cuyo estudio histopatológico reveló una epididimitis de origen tuberculoso. El paciente no refería antecedentes de tuberculosis y ninguna de las pruebas complementarias realizadas mostró evidencia de infección tuberculosa, pasada o actual (AU)
ABSTRACT
The urogenital tract is one of the most common sites of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, however, it is not a very common finding in our clinical practice. In this tract, epididymal tuberculosis, although rare, may be the initial and only clinically manifest location of tuberculous infection. We present the case of a 67-year-old male with paratesticular tumor, whose histopathology analysis showed tuberculous epididymitis. The patient reported no background of tuberculosis and none of the other complementary tests performed showed any evidence of past or current tuberculosis infection (AU)
