title: [Brucellosis as a differential diagnosis of cancer of the testes].
abstract: Brucellosis has become a rarity in industrialized countries. The manifestation as a granulomatous inflammation of the testes is described with an incidence of 5-40% in the literature and therefore is a relatively common complication of brucellosis. In cases of pain of the testes combined with B symptoms, a systemic inflammation with a local complication should also be considered besides cancer of the testes.
