A case of tuberculous epididymitis which presented as an acute hydrocele is reported and the relevant literature reviewed. The patient had undergone contralateral orchidectomy 20 years previously for the same condition associated with pulmonary tuberculosis. The most recent episode followed unrelated illness; the diagnosis was confirmed after surgical intervention and cure was achieved with adjuvant chemotherapy. Although rare, genital tuberculosis should still be considered in cases of scrotal swelling when there is a history of previous tuberculous disease or exposure.
本文报告一例表现为急性鞘膜积液的结核性附睾炎病例，并对相关文献进行综述。该患者20年前因同一疾病合并肺结核接受了对侧睾丸切除术。最近一次发作是在患无关疾病之后；手术干预后确诊，辅助化疗后治愈。尽管罕见，但当有既往结核病史或接触史时，阴囊肿胀病例仍应考虑生殖器结核。
