Abstract

Tuberculosis epididymitis is a rare illness of which diagnosis is difficult to made. Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection primarily effects lungs. Genitourinary system tubercolusis occurs via hematogenous spread in % 10 – 20 of these effected patients. Genitourinary tuberculosis mostly effects kidneys, prostate and epididymis in men. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis is difficult to diagnose and treatment is more difficult compared with pulmonary tuberculosis. Mostly invasive procedures are required for diagnosis. Two cases of which are diagnosed as tuberculosis epididymitis in excisional epididiym biopsy are presented here.

Özet

Tüberküloz epididimit tanısı zor konan ve nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Mycobacterium tuberculosis enfeksiyonu öncelikle akciğerleri tutar, bu hastaların %10-20’sinde hematojen yayılımla genitoüriner sistem tutulumu izlenir. Genitoüriner tüberküloz erkekte en sık böbrek, prostat ve epididimi etkiler. Akciğer dışı tüberkülozun akciğer tüberkülozuna göre tanı ve tedavisi daha zordur ve çoğunlukla tanı için invaziv girişimler gerekmektedir. Eksizyonel epididim biyopsisinde epididim tüberkülozu saptanan iki hasta olgu olarak sunulmuştur.
