Testicular torsion as the initial presentation of testicular tuberculosis

Abstract

Testicular tuberculosis (TB) is a rare disease, and it tends to mimic other testicular diseases which are more common. We highlight the case of a 37-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with testicular torsion. Further investigations revealed evidence of TB.
