Abstract
In 2 cases epididymo-orchitis, indistinguishable from a testicular tumor, developed as a late (15 and 34 months, respectively) complication following use of Tice strain bacillus Calmette-Guerin for treatment of superficial bladder carcinoma. In each instance the lesion was asymptomatic and ultrasonography demonstrated a complex scrotal mass. Inguinal orchiectomy was performed for diagnosis and therapy. The importance of obtaining a mycobacterial culture for further therapy planning is stressed.
