Abstract

A 75-year-old man received transuretheral resection (TUR-BT) for bladder cancer. After TUR-BT, he underwent intravesical instillation of BCG. He suffered from left scrotal pain after the first administration of BCG. At the same time, left scrotal induration and pus discharge developed. Urine examination revealed acid-fast bacilli, which proved shown to be tubercle bacilli. Chemotherapy for tuberculous (TB) with rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol was initiated. Which however, was of no effect. Therefore we performed left orchiectomy and scrotal skin resection. Histopathological examination showed TB epididymitis. Postoperative chemotherapy consisting of isoniazid and rifampicin was performed for three months, and he has no sign of recurrence.
