title: Chronic tuberculous epididymo-orchitis manifesting as a non-tender scrotal swelling: magnetic resonance imaging-histological correlation.
abstract: Clinically, chronic tuberculous epididymo-orchitis often is nonspecific and subsequently is indistinguishable from other various scrotal lesions. Gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasound is most commonly used for distinguishing these conditions. However, there are few reports on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of chronic tuberculous epididymo-orchitis. We describe MRI features of this lesion clinically manifesting as non-tender scrotal swelling with a correlation of the histological findings.
