| Popis: |
Genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) constitutes 20 % of extrapulmonary TB cases, with isolated testicular involvement being rare (2–4%). This case details a 41-year-old male with chronic left scrotal swelling, fistulization, and purulent discharge, ultimately diagnosed with testicular tuberculosis. Diagnostic imaging and histopathology confirmed caseating granulomas and acid-fast bacilli. The patient underwent high inguinal orchidectomy and was treated with a standard four-drug anti-tuberculosis regimen. Postoperative semen analysis revealed persistent azoospermia, indicating permanent fertility impairment. This case underscores the importance of considering GUTB in differential diagnoses of testicular masses, particularly in TB-endemic regions. |
