Summary

This case study highlights tertiary tuberculosis presenting as isolated epididymitis in a smoker. Early diagnosis via scrotal ultrasound is crucial for identifying tuberculosis in other body sites.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health issue.
  • Genitourinary tuberculosis can present with varied symptoms.
  • Epididymitis is commonly caused by bacterial infections.

Observation:

  • A 50-year-old male with a history of alcohol and tobacco use presented with acute on chronic epididymitis.
  • Physical examination revealed isolated scrotal inflammation.
  • Initial symptoms mimicked common causes of epididymitis.

Findings:

  • Scrotal ultrasound demonstrated findings consistent with epididymitis.
  • Further investigations confirmed disseminated tertiary tuberculosis.
  • The patient's symptoms were attributed to an unusual presentation of TB.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of epididymitis, even in non-endemic areas.
  • Scrotal ultrasound is a valuable tool for initial assessment.
  • Comprehensive investigations are necessary to rule out extrapulmonary TB involvement.
