Observation:
- A 59-year-old male presented with a four-month history of bilateral, nearly painless scrotal swellings.
Findings:
- Histological examination of a scrotal biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
- This represents the 19th reported case of scrotal sarcoidosis and the 8th with bilateral involvement.
Implications:
