Abstract

Solitary epididymal tuberculosis is a rare form of genitourinary tuberculosis. However, if it is not properly diagnosed and treated, recurrence of orchitis may occurred. Patients with solitary tuberculosis epididymitis are often misdiagnosed with other form of bacterial epididymitis, therefore they are subjected to many antibiotic treatment sessions and it could negatively affect their physical and mental health. For that reason, we conducted a case report on a patient with solitary epididymal tuberculosis who was diagnosed and treated at Hanoi Medical University to review the current literature and the experience regrading this rare disease.
