A 61-year old man visited our hospital with a painless swelling of right scrotal contents as the chief complaint. Transillumination test of the right scrotal contents was negative, and a quail's egg sized, elastic hard and smooth induration in the right testis was palpable. The laboratory data were normal except for slightly elevated E.S.R and CRP. Urine examination was normal. Although not only tumor marker, beta-hCG, AFP and LDH but also Plain lung X-ray, DIP and CT were normal, ultrasonography and MRI revealed a well-defined nodule in the right testis. Under the diagnosis of right testicular tumor, right high orchiectomy was performed. A yellowish white nodule of 2.5 cm in diameter was found in the slightly enlarged right testis. Pathologically, the patient was diagnosed as having tuberculotic granuloma with necrotic caseation. However, the epididymis was histologically normal. After operation, an antitubercular medication was started. Subsequently, E.S.R and CRP became normalized. At present, 12 months after surgery, the recurrence is not found. Tuberculosis of testis which shows no lesion in the epididymis is very rare, and ours is the first reported case in the Japanese literature. The importance of tuberculosis as a revival infection should be recognized in social circumstance in which tuberculosis is beginning to spread again.
