Summary Genitourinary tuberculosis (GT) includes 8–15% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB), which is more frequent in men. Epididymides, seminal vesicles, prostate and testis are the most common sites of GT. Although testicular TB is uncommon, we report 2 patients with unilateral testicular TB. The main treatment of urogenital tuberculosis is anti‐tuberculosis pharmacotherapy, sometimes combined with surgery.
