  • Title: A 3-year-old boy with tuberculous epididymo-orchitis.
    Author: Mbala L, Ilunga N, Kadinekene K.
    Journal: Trop Doct; 1997 Jan; 27(1):50-1. PubMed ID: 9030025.
    Abstract:
    The authors report the case of a 3-year-old child with tuberculous epididymo-orchitis. The only presenting symptom was testicular, epididymis and scrotal swelling and pain. Diagnosis was reached after histopathological examination of epididymis and testis tissues. The response to antitubercular drugs given with prednisolone was rapid. This case emphasizes the importance of considering tuberculosis in differential diagnosis of testicular and epididymal enlargement in young children in an endemic area despite the absence of systemic, pulmonary and urinary manifestations.
