- Testicular abscess is very rare and usually resulted from severe epididymo-orchitis. The most common pathogens are Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Escherichia coli. The inflammation usually starts in male genitourinary tract and spreads to testis. The testis is enlarged, yellow-white and may show abscess formation. The microscopic findings of testicular abscess demonstrated predominent inflammatory cells (neutrophils) in the interstitium and seminiferous tubules. The patient with testicular abscess usually present with fever, dysuria, and a painful scrotal enlargement. Physical examination may not be possible due to pain and swelling, making it difficult to evaluate the real extent of the lesion. In these patients, doppler US findings are useful. We report a case of testicular abscess secondary to acute epididymo-orchitis.

- Penile abscess is very rare. The pathogens are Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus, etc. The penis is enlarged, yellow-white and may show abscess formation. The microscopic findings of penile abscess is that neutrophils are the predominant inflammatory cells and are present in the interstitium. The patient with penile abscess may present with fever, dysuria, and a painful penile enlargement. Physical examination may be possible even though there is pain and swelling, not making it difficult to evaluate the real extent of the lesion. To diagnose, doppler US findings are useful. We report a case of penile abscess due to the use of condom catheter.
