    Abstract:
    A 70-year-old man complaining of painless right scrotal swelling was referred to our hospital. He had a past history of left nephrectomy for renal tuberculosis at the age of 28. Power Doppler ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic and hypovascular tumor with septa in the scrotum. We suspected a right testicular tumor and therefore, performed a right high inguinal orchiectomy. On macroscopic findings, the fluid of the tumor was yellowish and mucinous and the ipsilateral testis was remarkably atrophic. The pathological diagnosis was tuberculous epididymitis with central necrosis. In recent years, tuberculous epididymitis is rare, and this case was considered to be the first report of power Doppler ultrasonographic findings in tuberculous epididymitis.
