Contrast-enhanced ultrasound for rare testicular tuberculosis.

ABSTRACT: Testicular tuberculosis is a rare form of genital tuberculosis. Ultrasound is a crucial tool for evaluating male genital disorders. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), which provides real-time monitoring of microvascular hemodynamics, provides rich information about microcirculation, helping distinguish testicular tuberculosis from other testicular conditions such as tumors and inflammation. This study reports on a rare case of testicular tuberculosis diagnosed through CEUS. A 31-year-old male patient presented with two months of persistent right scrotal pain and swelling. Conventional scrotal ultrasound showed an enlarged right testicle with heterogeneous echogenicity and abundant color Doppler blood flow signals. CEUS demonstrated rapid contrast agent filling in the right testicle,
