A 21-year-old married male presented to infectious diseases clinic with 4 weeks history of swelling, increased temperature on right testicle and acute scrotal pain for 2 days. His physical examination pointed an epididymoorchitis within his radiologi¬cal findings; patient was started on standard epididymo orchitis treatment. Upon increase in the patient 's complaint, control radiological evolution was carried out after the completion of antibiotic therapy and showed no resolution of lesions, so patient underwent surgery.
