| description | Spermatic cord tuberculosis with testicular involvement is rare and can closely resemble a testicular tumor, particularly in patients with no prior history of tuberculosis. A 5-year-old child presented with a left inguino-scrotal mass of 1 month's duration and underwent left orchiectomy after a presumptive diagnosis of a testicular tumor. Histopathological diagnosis revealed spermatic cord tuberculosis with testicular involvement. The patient followed the tuberculosis management protocol. At 18 months of follow-up, a good clinical outcome was observed. This condition presents a diagnostic dilemma similar to that of a testicular tumor. Orchiectomy can be avoided if frozen section examination is performed. |
