Abstract
Testicular Schistosomiasis causes acute and chronic scrotal pain causes, typically by one or more species of blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma, which are rarely seen. Therefore, specimens for the diagnosis are usually biopsies from the testes and tissue sections from orchidectomy. This case report was aimed to present the diagnosis of testicular Schistosomiasis resulting from orchidectomy due to prolonged scrotal pain. Microscopic examination of a histological specimen stained by hematoxylin and eosin revealed dispersed viable and calcified ova of Schistosoma haematobium. This finding provided a rare case of testicular Schistosomiasis that clinicians and other healthcare professionals should be mindful of when dealing with cases with scrotal involvement, especially in endemic areas, to avoid unnecessary orchidectomy. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2022; 12(4):167-170.

Key words: Orchidectomy, testicular Schistosomiasis, S. haematobium, Histology
