Testicular pain as an atypical presentation of sarcoidosis.
Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England 2019 March 26
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease, with genitourinary tract involvement being very rare (0.2% of all sarcoidosis cases). Genitourinary sarcoidosis may present with a scrotal mass with or without testicular pain, often mimicking epididymo-orchitis or malignancy. Only 8 cases of genitourinary sarcoidosis have been reported in the literature in the last 14 years. We describe the case of a 25-year-old man who was referred with testicular pain. Scrotal ultrasonography demonstrated multiple bilateral hypoechoic testicular lesions that were of similar size and distributed unusually throughout the testicular parenchyma. Computed tomography detected a nodule in the middle lobe of the right lung, multiple small volume nodes in the retrocaval and left para-aortic regions, and enlarged bilateral external iliac and inguinal nodes, similar to those found in metastatic testicular cancer. Following ultrasound guided excision of one of the lesions, histopathological examination confirmed granulomatous inflammation consistent with sarcoidosis.
