Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) still presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Genitourinary TB constitutes about 20% of the extrapulmonary cases in regions where TB is endemic. Tuberculous infection of epididymis and testis is difficult to differentiate clinically from pyogenic infection, tumour or infarction. High-resolution sonography is currently the best readily available technique for imaging the scrotum and its contents, and accurate differentiation is important for proper diagnosis and treatment. The authors are presenting a unique case of chronic epididymo-orchitis with scrotal ulcers.

Genital lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a condition that can present both acutely and chronically, complicating its diagnosis due to nonspecific symptoms. This case report describes an 11-year-old boy who presented with symptoms of acute scrotum. Initial Doppler ultrasound suggested acute epididymo-orchitis; however, despite conservative management, the symptoms persisted, prompting surgical exploration.

is a group of bacteria commonly found in water sources. These bacteria are known to cause gastrointestinal and skin infections, while their association with urinary tract infections is relatively rare. Here, we present a case of epididymitis in a patient with a chronic neurogenic bladder managed with clean intermittent catheterization.

Behçet's disease is a chronic systemic inflammatory vasculitis of unknown etiology. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, skin lesions, ocular lesions, and other manifestations. This disease affects many organs and systems, showing a wide range of clinical features.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between left-sided varicocele and epididymitis or epididymo-orchitis.
Materials And Methods: The study included 72 patients with left side epididymitis (EP) or epididymo-orchitis (EPO) (Group 1) and a control group of 72 patients without EP or EPO (Group 2). Those with right EP-EPO were excluded due to possible other underlying retroperitoneal pathologies causing varicocele.

Background: Infection and inflammation of the genital tract are major potentially treatable factors contributing to male infertility. The profile of small non-coding RNA (sncRNAs) in spermatozoa can be altered by environmental exposures and inflammatory conditions.
Objectives: Experimental autoimmune epididymo-orchitis (EAEO) is a well-established model of autoimmune-induced chronic testicular and epididymal inflammation.
