[Isolated testicular tuberculosis in children. Report of 2 Malagasy cases].
Isolated testicular tuberculosis is rare. The authors report 2 cases in children. The clinical features had no specificity: one case of hydrocele and 1 case of acute scrotum inflammation. Surgical exploration showed testicular nodules in both cases. Only histological examination provided the definitive diagnosis. The details of diagnosis and treatment are discussed and compared to the information available in the literature.
