Genitourinary tuberculosis accounts for 8-15 % of cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, with the testis being an infrequent site of involvement, seen in 3 % of individuals with genital tuberculosis. Testicular tuberculosis often presents with symptoms that mimic those of other testicular conditions, including neoplasms, infections and testicular torsion. We report the case of a 51-year-old male with a history of tuberculosis 11 years prior, who presented with left testicular pain, swelling, and an ulcer. Initial ultrasound findings suggested were unclear and only the histopathological examination ultimately confirmed a diagnosis of testicular tuberculosis. The patient was treated with complete clinical resolution.

Methods: A total of 166 patients with exudative pleural effusion were collected, including 86 patients with tuberculosis pleural effusion (TPE), 52 patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE), and 28 patients with parapneumonic effusion (PE).

Unlabelled: The retropharyngeal space is a distinct space along the midline that extends from the skull base to the upper mediastinum. Retropharyngeal space lesions can produce significant morbidity, given their proximity to the aero-digestive tract, skull base and its ability to extend into upper mediastinum. Difficulty in assessing the retropharyngeal space by direct inspection or physical examination may cause delay in diagnosis and early intervention thus knowledge about these lesions and their effective management is essential.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health issue globally, with extra pulmonary tuberculosis (epTB) accounting for a considerable number of TB cases. This study aims to improve our understanding of epTB epidemiology by evaluating treatment outcomes and identifying factors associated with positive and negative treatment results in epTB patients. A retrospective study was conducted from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2019.
