Abstract
The incidence of genitourinary tuberculosis is constant in western cou ntries, despite dramatically falling prevalence of pulmonary tuberculo sis. The kidney is especially involved in urinary tuberculosis, and ge nital tuberculosis mostly affects the epididymis in males and the fall opian tubes in females. Twelve cases of male genitourinary tuberculosi s are presented and the literature is briefly reviewed.
