Zusammenfassung

Die Brucellose ist in industrialisierten Ländern eine Seltenheit geworden. Eine Manifestation als granulomatöse Orchitis wird in der Literatur mit einer Prävalenz von 5–40% angegeben und ist damit eine relativ häufige Komplikation. Bei B-Symptomatik und Hodenschmerzen sollte neben einem Malignom auch eine systemische Infektion mit lokaler Komplikation in Betracht gezogen werden.

Abstract

Brucellosis has become a rarity in industrialized countries. The manifestation as a granulomatous inflammation of the testes is described with an incidence of 5–40% in the literature and therefore is a relatively common complication of brucellosis. In cases of pain of the testes combined with B symptoms, a systemic inflammation with a local complication should also be considered besides cancer of the testes.
