| Abstract (English): |
Two cases of male genital tuberculosis are exposed. Tuberculosis of the epididymis manifests itself as a painful mass that has developed for months. Scrotal ultrasound is of great diagnostic help. The final diagnosis is established by pathology. In prostatic tuberculosis the evolution is also prolonged, the diagnosis is not always easy to suspect since the physical examination is usually negative or borders on taking a biopsy that provides the diagnosis. Given the persistence and intensity of the symptoms, and ruling out other conditions, empirical treatment is justified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

El diagnóstico final se establece por patología. En la tuberculosis prostática la evolución es prolongada, el diagnóstico no siempre es fácil sospecharlo ya que la exploración física suele ser negativa u orillar a la toma de biopsia que proporciona el diagnóstico. Ante la persistencia e intensidad de los síntomas, y descarte de otros padecimientos se justifica el tratamiento empírico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
