ABSTRACT
In this review, two cases of testicular tuberculosis (TB) are presented, and another 58 cases published in PubMed between January 1, 2012, and July 31, 2023, are reviewed. Testicular TB remains a disease mainly of the developing world, with one notable exception - the infections caused as a result of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin infusion immunotherapy for bladder cancer. Its clinical course is subacute; however, it might get disseminated and become life-threatening; therefore, prompt diagnosis is very important. The diagnosis can be quite challenging, and testicular tissue is the sample with the highest diagnostic yield, either for microbiological or histopathological diagnosis. On the other hand, its treatment follows the standard guidelines for TB treatment; however, the avoidance of an unnecessary orchiectomy is important.
