Tuberculosis confined to the testes with no epididymal involvement is uncommon. Chronic renal failure patients requiring hemodialysis have increased risk for developing tuberculosis. We report a 47-year old chronic renal failure man presenting with right testicular tuberculous orchitis. A high index of suspicion is required to recognize the unusual presentation of tuberculosis in this group of patients, and routine screening for tuberculosis may be recommended in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
局限于睾丸而无附睾受累的结核病并不常见。需要进行血液透析的慢性肾衰竭患者患结核病的风险增加。我们报告了一名47岁患有慢性肾衰竭的男性，其表现为右侧睾丸结核性睾丸炎。对于识别这类患者中结核病的不寻常表现需要高度怀疑，对于接受血液透析的患者可能建议进行结核病的常规筛查。
