Description
Viktorija Lodeikina, Liga Kuksa, Iveta Ozere, and Reinis Riekstins report genital and urinary tuberculosis that looked like testicular cancer, in a 2026 case. A man aged forty-one had chronic epididymal inflammation, a testicular mass, and a left kidney swelling toward destruction. Removal of the testicle showed granulomatous inflammation with no cancer.
Urine molecular testing found tuberculosis complex DNA, and one urine culture later grew the bacterium. The kidney, fully destroyed, was removed and confirmed as tuberculous on examination. Lung imaging showed mild apical changes, while airway samples stayed negative. Combined imaging, tissue, molecular, and culture evidence clinched a tricky diagnosis.
