孤立性睾丸结核误诊为睾丸肿瘤:一例罕见病例报告

Abstract

Isolated testicular tuberculosis is rare, often diagnosed incidentally during histopathological examination due to its asymptomatic nature. We present a case of a 35-year-old male with a left testicular mass mimicking malignancy. Despite normal tumor markers and negative imaging for pulmonary tuberculosis, left inguinal orchiectomy revealed testicular tuberculosis. Diagnostic challenges are compounded by the disease's rarity and atypical presentation. Genitourinary tuberculosis's diagnostic complexity underscores the need for heightened clinical suspicion, particularly in tuberculosis-endemic regions. While orchiectomy may be necessary, this case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in testicular masses. Early recognition facilitates appropriate management and underscores the importance of diagnostic vigilance.
