Physical examination revealed bilateral epididymal induration and beaded vas with another firm and tender nodule on right epididymal tail. During anti-Tbc chemotherapy, right scrotal draining sinus developed and so right epididymectomy was performed. Tuberculous epididymitis was confirmed pathologically.
