Testicular sarcoidosis.

S M Opal, D L Pittman, F E Hofeldt.   

Abstract

A 20 year old black man presented with shortness of breath, hilar adenopathy, monoarticular arthritis, polydipsia and polyuria, and bilateral testicular masses. Transbronchial biopsy revealed noncaseating granulomas consistent with sarcoidosis. Subsequent work-up demonstrated hypothalamic dysfunction, and joint fluid analysis was consistent with sarcoid arthropathy. Concern over the possibility of a testicular neoplasm led to right testicular biopsy which revealed noncaseating granulomas consistent with testicular sarcoidosis. A short course of steroid therapy resulted in clinical improvement and complete resolution of the remaining left testicular mass.
