Tuberculosis may be resurging due to immigration, potentially increasing genitourinary cases like tubercular epididymitis and orchitis. This essay outlines typical imaging findings for these rare conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) control has historically been successful in Western countries.
  • Recent immigration trends from TB-endemic regions raise concerns about disease resurgence.
  • Genitourinary tuberculosis, once rare, is predicted to increase.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline typical US imaging features of tubercular epididymitis and orchitis.
  • To aid radiologists and clinicians in identifying these uncommon presentations.
  • To prepare for an anticipated rise in genitourinary TB cases.

Main Methods:

  • Pictorial essay format.
  • Review of characteristic imaging findings.
  • Focus on ultrasound (US) appearances.

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of US findings in tubercular epididymitis.
  • Detailed description of US findings in tubercular orchitis.
  • Illustrative examples of typical imaging.

Conclusions:

  • Genitourinary tuberculosis is an emerging concern requiring diagnostic vigilance.
  • Ultrasound plays a key role in identifying epididymal and testicular TB.
  • Familiarity with imaging patterns is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
