title: Tuberculous epididymo-orchitis.
abstract: In the clinical course of epididymitis in a forty-four-year-old male patient, enlargement of ipsilateral testis developed which was difficult to distinguish clinically from testicular tumor. High inguinal orchiectomy was performed. Microscopic sections revealed many granulomas with caseous necrosis and giant cells. Tuberculous bacilli also were demonstrated in the histologic examination.
