Testicular involvement is a rarely encountered complication of sarcoidosis. There are unique challenges involved when sarcoidosis affects the genitourinary system. These include differentiating the findings from testicular cancer, which often results in invasive procedures such as orchiectomies. It can also be a cause of secondary infertility in men. Additionally, it may also be underdiagnosed. Here, we describe a case where a patient showed a constellation of findings suggestive of sarcoidosis, along with testicular involvement at initial presentation. In this case, the diagnosis was made clinically with supporting laboratory, pathology, and ultrasound findings. The testicular findings were not biopsied, as the patient had easily accessible skin findings to confirm sarcoidosis. His testicular findings are continued to be monitored via ultrasound.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
