Testicular tuberculosis is a rare form of genital tuberculosis. Ultrasound is a crucial tool for evaluating male genital disorders. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), which provides real-time monitoring of microvascular hemodynamics, provides rich information about microcirculation, helping distinguish testicular tuberculosis from other testicular conditions such as tumors and inflammation.

This case report describes an 85-year-old patient who presented with painless, unilateral right testicular swelling of 2 months' duration. This raised the possibility of testicular cancer, especially given his recent treatment for bladder cancer, which included adjuvant intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) therapy. This poses a diagnostic dilemma regarding tuberculosis (TB) of the testis, BCG complications or a true testicular malignancy.

A 3-year-old male neutered Golden Retriever with nasal swelling and lymphadenopathy was diagnosed with diffuse Mycobacterium avium infection. Treatment with 9 months of enrofloxacin, clarithromycin and rifampicin was successful, but relapsed 10 months later with lymphadenopathy, skin plaques and testicular involvement. Repeat treatment for 12 months was effective but 15 months later a second relapse responded to the same therapy which is ongoing with survival from diagnosis of 82 months.

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.
