%X Tuberculous epididymo-orchitis is an uncommon complication after intravesical bacilli Calmette-Guerin therapy for nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer. Spread of granulomatous disease through the genitourinary tract specifically to the testes occurs in 0.4% of treated patients. The following case presents a 77-year-old man who underwent intravesical therapy after transurethral resection of bladder tumor and developed testicular discomfort and a palpable mass 2 years after initiation of therapy. After wide range of serum and urine analyses, repeated testicular ultrasonography, and an unsuccessful course of antibiotics, the patient elected to undergo orchiectomy and was confirmed to have tuberculous epididymo-orchitis. Diagnosis based on imaging and laboratory serum and urine analysis may be elusive and therefore review of this entity and associated sonographic findings is discussed.
