A 45-year-old man visited our clinic with a painless swelling of the left scrotum and an ulcer as chief complaints. A hard and indurated mass was palpable with ulcerating foci that were proximal and distal, measuring 3 × 2 cm and 2 × 1 cm respectively and about 2 cm apart. Laboratory data were normal except for an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and white blood cell (WBC) differential showed neutropenia and lymphocytosis. A diagnosis of left testicular tumor was made and the patient had a left orchidectomy with fistulectomy. Histopathology results showed a stratified squamous epithelium with tuberculous granuloma and necrotic caseation. Patient is currently on anti-tubercular medication. The rarity of this condition makes these findings important to report.

My experience with Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports was excellent. The entire review process was fast and accurate. My previous experience with important top ranking journals was unpleasant mainly because the staff were slow and sometimes presumptuous. On the contrary, the editors of Libertas were helpful and prompt in responding to questions and issues related to the submission. I recommend the publisher to my colleagues.
