[Sarcoidosis presenting as an intrascrotal mass]

Introduction:
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder that rarely involves the genitourinary tract.
Case:
A 35-year-old man had intrascrotal extratesticular mass. Surgical exploration found noncaseating granulomatous inflammation. After the CT scan revealed mediastinal lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly, we diagnosed sarcoidosis. The patient responded rapidly to corticosteroids.
Discussion:
Intrascrotal sarcoidosis is an unusual differential diagnosis for an intrascrotal mass. Histological testing is necessary to diagnose noncaseating granulomas. Other granulomatous diseases must be ruled out. Corticosteroid treatment is indicated only for symptomatic sarcoidosis with diffusion of granulomatous lesions and involvement of vital organs.
