[A case of spermatic cord tuberculosis].

A 47-year-old man visited our hospital with a complaint of a right intrascrotal mass. The results of a laboratory examination were unremarkable. An ultrasonographic examination of the right scrotum demonstrated a low echoic legion, 2.5 x 1.3 x 0.7 cm in diameter. A right spermatic cord tumor was diagnosed. Right high orchiectomy was performed. Microscopic examination showed a granulomatous lesion with Langhans large cells. Tuberculin skin test was strongly positive. From these findings we diagnosed the patient with tuberculosis in the spermatic cord.
