Abstract
RIOS-CRUZ, Daniel et al. Testicular tuberculosis. Cir. gen [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.1, pp.56-59. Epub Aug 15, 2022. ISSN 1405-0099. https://doi.org/10.35366/103916.
Introduction:
Testicular tuberculosis is a rare disease and requires a high diagnostic suspicion. As well as its low clinical correlation, its rare appearance and high association with HIV-AIDS make its prognosis bad regardless of the age of onset.
Clinical case:
Male, 33 years old with testicular tuberculosis diagnosed as a result of intestinal occlusion symptoms.
Conclusion:
Testicular tuberculosis is an extremely rare entity, with unspecific manifestations whose diagnosis requires high suspicion.
Keywords : Testicular tuberculosis; HIV-AIDS; Mexico.
