Granulomatous epididymitis refers to a form of epididymitis secondary to a granulomatous process. It may or may not be associated with concurrent orchitis.
It is usually associated with:
- tuberculosis - tuberculous epididymitis
- bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine
Occasionally cases are idiopathic, termed idiopathic granulomatous epididymitis.
