Granulomatous orchitis


J.A. Myburgh

Abstract

Granulomatous lesions of the testis are rare. The case to be described is of interest, clinically in that it closely mimicked a testicular neoplasm, and pathologically because of the difficulty in arriving at a definite diagnosis. A provisional rapid section was first considered to show tuberculosis of the testis; on further consideration the histological appearances were regarded as being consistent with sarcoidosis; perusal of the literature finally raised the question of granulomatous orchitis.
