Genitourinary tuberculosis is a severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The kidneys are the most commonly affected organs, followed by the epididymis, testicles, bladder, ureter and prostate. Notably, epididymal tuberculosis is one of the forms of genital tuberculosis presenting with specific clinical features, which may include epididymitis, orchid-epididymitis or hydrocele. We report the case of a patient with a hydrocele that revealed epididymal tuberculosis. Utilizing molecular biology techniques, a diagnostic test for epididymal tuberculosis was established. The patient was treated conservatively with tuberculosis medication for 6 months.
