TLDR
The aim of this pictorial essay is to provide an outline of the typical US images of tubercular epididymitis and orchitis.Abstract:
For several decades tuberculosis has been adequately under control in this country, but there has been recent concern that this disease might be coming back to the forefront, due to the influx of immigrants from developing countries where tuberculosis is still rampant. In the years to come we are expecting an increase in cases of genitourinary lesions of tubercular origin, a disease which had practically disappeared in the Western world. The aim of this pictorial essay is to provide an outline of the typical US images of tubercular epididymitis and orchitis.read more

TL;DR: In 6 patients with tuberculous epididymitis the testes were also involved (epididymo-orchitis), and the most notable sonographic findings were an enlarged epididymis, predominantly in the tail portion, and marked heterogeneity of the echo texture of the involved epididysis.
