Tuberculous epididymitis is a rare entity associated with minor complications. We present two cases of tuberculous epididymitis associated with serious complications (bilateral psoas abscesses and Addison's disease with psoas abscess). A review of the literature disclosed six additional cases associated with serious complications (Addison's disease, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, central nervous system involvement) which are discussed and compared to these cases. We conclude that tuberculous epididymitis represents a grave sequela of genital tract involvement and may be associated with serious and even fatal complications.
结核性附睾炎是一种罕见疾病，并发症较少。我们报告两例结核性附睾炎伴有严重并发症（双侧腰大肌脓肿以及伴有腰大肌脓肿的艾迪生病）。文献回顾发现另外还有6例伴有严重并发症（艾迪生病、抗利尿激素分泌异常、中枢神经系统受累）的病例，本文将对这些病例进行讨论并与我们的病例作比较。我们得出结论，结核性附睾炎是生殖道受累的严重后遗症，可能伴有严重甚至致命的并发症。
