Abstract
Urogenital tuberculosis is recognized by the World Health Organization as a severe form of tuberculosis whose diagnosis is often very difficult and late, outside of an active or recent suggestive tuberculosis context.
We report a case of epididymo-testicular tuberculosis specific to the caseo-fibrous stage revealed acutely in an immunocompetent patient under treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. The diagnosis was histopathological from the surgical specimen.
