A 65-year-old man visited our hospital with a complaint of a left inguinal mass. He had had a past history of tuberculosis. A left spermatic cord tumor was suspected. Left high orchiectomy was performed. The mass did not connect with the testis or epididymis. The removed mass measured 4 x 2 x 1.5 cm in size. Microscopic examination showed a granulomatous lesion with Langhans giant cells. Tuberculin skin test was moderately positive. From these findings we diagnosed the patient with tuberculosis in spermatic cord. Antituberculous chemotherapy was subsequently initiated. Two months after surgery, recurrence has not been found.
