Abstract
Tuberculous epididymitis is a rare disease difficult to diagnose. It is important to differentiate epididymitis from other causes for acute scrotum, such as testicular torsion and tumor. The conventional methods for diagnosis are often time-consuming and invasive. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay for mycobacterial DNA is a valuable method for rapid diagnosis of tuberculous epididymitis. We report this case who was admitted with the chief complaints of cough, fever, bilateral scrotal swelling and pain to emphasize that biopsy are of the importance in the differantial diagnosis

Abstract
Tüberküloz epididimit tanısı güç olan nadir bir hastalıktır. Epididimitin, testis tümörü ve torsiyonu gibi diğer skrotum hastalıklarından ayırt edilmesi önemlidir. Konvesiyonel tanı metodları genellikle invazif ve zaman alıcı yöntemlerdir. Mikobakteriyal DNA’nın saptanmasına yönelik polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (PCR) testi, tüberküloz epididimitin hızlı tanısı amacıyla kullanılan değerli bir tanı metodudur. Ayırıcı tanıda biyopsinin önemini vurgulamak amacıyla başlıca öksürük, ateş, bilateral skrotal şişlik ve ağrı yakınmalarıyla başvuran bu vakayı sunuyoruz
