Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the lungs, lymphatic system and skin. Extra thoracic manifestations occur in about 50% of cases; however, it rarely affects the male reproductive tract. The first documented case of epididymal and testicular sarcoid in the Irish literature is of a 25-year-old male who presented with a painful 1-cm extra-testicular scrotal mass. While the involvement of the male reproductive tract is rare, it should be included in the differential of testicular pathology. It can be diagnosed on frozen section and may be managed conservatively.Entities:
