Brucellosis is an endemic disease in Turkey, and testicular abscess is a rare and frequently misdiagnosed complication of brucellosis. In the literature there are only seven reported cases, and all were treated with both medical and surgical therapy. We report a case of brucellar testicular abscess treated with medical therapy only. Although the patient recovered clinically at the end of 6 weeks, the regression of the testicular lesion could not be observed until after 5 months.

Article Synopsis
- * The patient initially showed symptoms of possible kidney infection, leading to the discovery of a large retroperitoneal mass via CT scan, alongside salmonella detected in his blood cultures.
- * Despite treatment with antibiotics, the abscess did not shrink, prompting further testing that identified both ongoing salmonella infection and the presence of a yolk sac tumor, emphasizing the need to consider underlying cancer when treatment for abscesses is ineffective.
