Testicular tuberculosis without epididymal involvement is rare. Hemodialysis patients with chronic renal failure have a higher risk of tuberculosis, suggesting routine screening is beneficial.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Urology

Background:

  • Patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing hemodialysis (HD) are immunocompromised.
  • Tuberculosis (TB) is an opportunistic infection with increased prevalence in immunocompromised individuals.

Observation:

  • A 47-year-old male patient with CRF on HD presented with unilateral testicular swelling.
  • Clinical examination revealed right testicular enlargement consistent with orchitis, with no signs of epididymal involvement.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed tuberculous orchitis.
  • This case highlights an uncommon presentation of genitourinary tuberculosis.

Implications:

  • A high index of suspicion for tuberculosis is crucial in hemodialysis patients presenting with testicular pathology.
