Abstract:
Xanthogranulomatous orchitis is a rare non-malignant condition. This study reports a new case of xanthogranulomatous orchitis in a 77-year-old male, who presented with acute right scrotal mass. Ultrasound and computed tomography showed a heterogenous lesion involving the testis, with a loculated collection in the overlying scrotal wall. Scrotal exploration revealed an abscess involving the scrotal skin, with hard mass involving the testis, with histological evidence of infiltration and replacement of most testicular parenchyma. This case highlights this important consideration for xanthogranulomatous orchitis in the differential of testicular mass, particularly when associated with a purulent collection.
