Abstract

Testicular tuberculosis is rare and represents only 3% of genitourinary tuberculosis cases. We are reporting a case of tuberculous orchi-epididymitis which was manifesting as a painful hydrocoele knowing that the condition has become favourable with a good evolution after conservative surgical intervention and anti-bacillary treatment.
