Abstract

Objective: This study was performed to determine incidence of testicular tuberculosis in cases of epididymo-orchitis.

Methodology: Retrospective observational study was carried out at our institute in 500 cases of epididymo-orchitis. All cases were initially managed with antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs. Patient in which orchidectomy is done, testis were sent for histopathological evaluation.

Results: Of 500 cases, 0.8% of the cases were confirmed with the diagnosis of testicular tuberculosis. Out of 143 cases that underwent Orchidectomy, 2.7% of cases were having testicular tuberculosis.

Conclusion: It is important to keep in mind that testicular tuberculosis is a possible differential, while diagnosing cases of scrotal swellings and in cases of epididymo-orchitis. A negative history of Pulmonary TB does not necessarily exclude the diagnoses of testicular TB.
