title: Male genitourinary tuberculosis. Report of 12 cases and review of the literature.
abstract: The incidence of genitourinary tuberculosis is constant in western countries, despite dramatically falling prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis. The kidney is especially involved in urinary tuberculosis, and genital tuberculosis mostly affects the epididymis in males and the fallopian tubes in females. Twelve cases of male genitourinary tuberculosis are presented and the literature is briefly reviewed.
