  • Title: Chronic epididymo-orchitis and scrotal ulcers.
    Author: Alzayyani NR, Wani AM, Al Miamini W, Al Harbi ZS.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2011 Mar 08; 2011():. PubMed ID: 22707659.
    Abstract:
    Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) still presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Genitourinary TB constitutes about 20% of the extrapulmonary cases in regions where TB is endemic. Tuberculous infection of epididymis and testis is difficult to differentiate clinically from pyogenic infection, tumour or infarction. High-resolution sonography is currently the best readily available technique for imaging the scrotum and its contents, and accurate differentiation is important for proper diagnosis and treatment. The authors are presenting a unique case of chronic epididymo-orchitis with scrotal ulcers.
