Objective and importance: Tuberculoma of the intrascrotal cord is rare. There were only 8 other cases reported in the English literature. Clinical presentation: A 40-year-old man presented with a painless mass in the left scrotal region. Preoperated frozen section showed it to be a tuberculous lesion. Intervention or technique: The mass was excised in toto and the final histopathology confirmed the frozen section and antituberculous drugs were administered. Conclusion: An awareness of this condition would prevent an orchidectomy on the patient for a benign lesion.
