OBJECTIVE: To report one case of idiopathic granulomatous orchitis, an extremely rare disease, in a 76-year-old patient. METHODS/ RESULTS: The pathology department received a testicle with the clinical/radiological diagnosis of testicular tumor. The pathologic study showed absence of neoplasias and presence of morphological findings compatible with idiopathic granulomatous orchitis. CONCLUSIONS: The idiopathic granulomatous orchitis is an entity of unknown etiology, clinically or ultrasonographically not distinguishable from testicular neoplasias, the diagnosis of which is made after orchiectomy.
