Abstract

Brucella may cause testicular masses, which may be confused with a testicular tumour. We present the case of a man with fever and oedema in the scrotum. Ultrasound and colour Doppler ultrasound with a 6 to 15 MHz high-frequency linear-array transducer was performed, revealing bilateral scrotal wall oedema, heterogeneous echo texture and slightly increased vascularization of the right testis, with hypoechoic lesions characterized by hypervascular margins and no flow within them. These findings were compatible with testicular abscesses. Three blood cultures grew Brucella melitensis, so the patient received treatment with doxycycline and rifampin for 8 weeks, which resulted in disappearance of the testicular abscesses. Keywords: Brucella melitensis, genitourinary brucellosis, testicular abscess, zoonosis, stuartii
