Hi,
The lump in the scrotum is usually steatocystoma, surgical excision is the treatment of choice in such cases, nevertheless intralesional steroid injection can also be tried. It is not a part of tuberculosis and will not subside as a result of antitubercular medications.
Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.
Regards,
Dr. Atishay Bukharia
