Hello doctor, my husband aged 39yrs had a marble sized growth in his left side scrotum when diagnosed for tuberculosis the mass grew and after administering the tuberculosis drug for a month the growth continued then his testicles was removed pls coment why did the growth did not stop inspite of administration of medicines
The lump in the scrotum is usually steatocystoma, surgical excision is the treatment of choice in such cases, nevertheless intralesional steroid injection can also be tried. It is not a part of tuberculosis and will not subside as a result of antitubercular medications.
Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.
