# Ultrasonography Findings of Testicular Tuberculosis in Nepalese Patients: A Case Series

## TL;DR

This study presents ultrasound findings in five Nepalese patients with rare testicular tuberculosis, emphasizing its diagnostic value.

## Contribution

The paper provides a case series highlighting ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for testicular tuberculosis.

## Key findings

- Ultrasonography can help distinguish testicular tuberculosis from other similar conditions.
- Testicular tuberculosis is rare and can be misdiagnosed as cancer or sarcoidosis.
- Ultrasound findings are crucial for diagnosing rare forms of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis.

## Abstract

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis constitutes about 20% of all cases of tuberculosis. It involves organs other than the lungs, such as lymph nodes, the genitourinary tract, abdomen, skin, joints and bones, and meninges. Tuberculosis of the testis is a rare disease. The diagnosis of testicular tuberculosis could be confused with testicular cancer, sarcoidosis or metastases. Herein, we describe the ultrasonography of five patients with testicular tuberculosis. This case series highlights the importance of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of rare form of extra pulmonary tuberculosis.
