Idiopathic granulomatous orchitis is rare and can mimic testicular cancer. Early diagnosis via histological examination after orchiectomy is crucial, with inguinal exploration recommended for specific patient groups.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Idiopathic granulomatous orchitis (IGO) is a rare inflammatory condition affecting the testes.
  • Potential etiological factors include testicular trauma and genitourinary tract infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on 7 cases of idiopathic granulomatous orchitis.
  • To discuss the diagnostic challenges and recommended management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis.
  • Histological examination of orchiectomy specimens.
  • Clinical data review.

Main Results:

  • Seven cases of IGO were identified.
  • Clinical presentation varied, often mimicking testicular cancer.

  • Histological examination post-orchiectomy confirmed the diagnosis in all cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • IGO presents a diagnostic challenge due to its variable clinical appearance.
    • Histological examination after orchiectomy is the definitive diagnostic method.
    • Inguinal exploration with frozen section is advised for young patients or those with a single testis to potentially avoid orchiectomy.
