results: among 11 patients who underwent surgery consisted of eight males and three females. their metastasis originated from testis tumors (n = 5), renal cell carcinoma (rcc; n = 4), bladder tumor (n = 1), and prostate cancer (n = 1). their mean age was 41.27 years (range, 21-67). the mean age of the patients with rcc and testis tumor at the time of diagnosing metastasis was 54 and 24.8 years,...

Urogenital tuberculosis (TB) is a common late manifestation of an earlier symptomatic or asymptomatic pulmonary TB infection. A latency period ranging from 5 to 40 years between the time of the initial infection and the expression of urogenital TB frequently occurs. As one of the most common sites of involvement of extrapulmonary TB, urogenital TB accounts for 15% to 20% of the infections. We p...
