A total of 6 cases of tbc of the male genitalia were observed with us: 1 case of both appendages and 5 cases of testicular involvement, including one case of bilateral involvement. Of these patients, who were admitted to us in a serious condition, three underwent surgery, while the rest were treated conservatively according to Hotz-Grekov; of the last three patients, one was recently operated on at the Provincial Hospital. For all six cases fatal outcome can be noted once, one month after surgery (at home) from lung tbc.
