Abstract
Although the predominant form of tuberculosis is pulmonary disease, an increasing number of cases with extra-pulmonary involvement have been reported. The diagnosis of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis is often difficult because of its protean clinical manifestations and non-specific laboratory findings. Abdominal lymph node involvement may be present alone or in combination with involvement of the gastrointestinal tract, peritoneum, and solid viscera. Tuberculous epididymitis occurs sporadically and represents a specific secondary subacute or chronic inflammatory process involving the epididymis. We present the imaging findings in a patient with tuberculous epididymitis associated with abdominal tuberculous lymphadenopathy.
