title: Testicular tuberculosis mimicking testicular malignancy.
abstract: A 22 years old male presented with right sided scrotal swelling of 5 months duration. On examination it was found to be of orange-sized, firm to hard in consistency with mild tenderness. Ultrasonography of testes failed to arrive at a diagnosis. However, fine needle aspiration cytology of the testicular swelling confirmed the diagnosis of testicular tuberculosis. Even conservative approach in the management gave satisfactory result.
