摘　　要：We report a case of epididymo-testicular tuberculosis in a 31-year-old man in the surgical department “A” at the University Hospital Point G of Bamako. Epididymitis or orchi-epididymitis is an infection of the epididymis and/or testis. It is the most frequent reason for consultation in urology and affects mainly young people between 30 and 50 years of age. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is very rarely incriminated (2% to 3% of cases). The main problem with genital tuberculosis lies in the diagnosis, which is often difficult and delayed in the absence of other suggestive locations, a notion of contagion or a history of tuberculosis. In the absence of germs in the urine or semen, the diagnosis of certainty is based on histological examination of biopsy fragments of the testicle or epididymis. Delayed treatment results in impaired fertility, such as oligospermia or azoospermia due to reversible or irreversible organic damage to the genitalia.We report a case of epididymo-testicular tuberculosis in a 31-year-old man in the surgical department “A” at the University Hospital Point G of Bamako.
