Abstract
We report a rare case of multidrug-resistant pulmonary and testicular tuberculosis (TB) in a 25-year-old immunocompetent patient. The patient was suspected to have a testicular cancer. He underwent radical orchiectomy, and surgical pathology revealed a granuloma containing acid-fast bacilli in the testis. Bronchial washing fluid culture grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistant to isoniazid, rifampin, and ethambutol. To our knowledge, this patient represents the first case of testicular TB in multidrug-resistant pulmonary TB.Entities:
