Abstract
With an incidence rate of as high as 210 cases per 1,00,000 of
population, tuberculosis (Tb) is a very common disease in India (1).
Primarily, pulmonary involvement is most common, however recently
extra pulmonary sites of Tb has also been rapidly increasing. Among
extra-pulmonary Tb (EPTB), lymph node Tb is the most common,
genital Tb being the second most common affected site (2). Genital
Tb affects both the genders equally and causes complications like
infertility. It usually affects organs like bladder, prostate, fallopian
tubes and testis.
