Abstract
Abstract: Genitourinary tuberculosis is a severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The most commonly affected organs are the epididymis and testicles. Clinical manifestations may include epididymitis, orchid-epididymitis, hydrocele associated with significant hematuria, and leukocyturia in sterile urine. We report the case of a patient with a hydrocele that revealed epididymal tuberculosis. With the help of molecular biology, the diagnosis of epididymal tuberculosis was made. The patient was treated conservatively with tuberculosis medication for six months.
