Abstract:
:Tuberculous epididymitis is a rare entity associated with minor complications. We present two cases of tuberculous epididymitis associated with serious complications (bilateral psoas abscesses and Addison's disease with psoas abscess). A review of the literature disclosed six additional cases associated with serious complications (Addison's disease, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, central nervous system involvement) which are discussed and compared to these cases. We conclude that tuberculous epididymitis represents a grave sequela of genital tract involvement and may be associated with serious and even fatal complications.
