We describe an unusual case of miliary tuberculous epididymo-orchitis following a BCG-therapy, mimicking malignancy at initial presentation. Genitourinary tuberculosis in a miliary pattern is rare and this case report emphasizes the importance of meticulous analysis of the patient’s clinical history combined with imaging findings in order to ensure an adequate diagnosis and treatment.
