    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Rheumatology
    • Endocrinology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by noncaseating granulomas.
    • While sarcoidosis commonly affects the lungs, it can manifest in various extrathoracic organs.
    • Testicular involvement in sarcoidosis is rare but has been reported.

    Observation:

    • A 20-year-old man presented with shortness of breath, hilar adenopathy, monoarticular arthritis, polydipsia, polyuria, and bilateral testicular masses.
    • Transbronchial biopsy showed noncaseating granulomas, indicative of sarcoidosis.
    • Further investigations revealed hypothalamic dysfunction and joint fluid findings consistent with sarcoid arthropathy.

    Findings:

    • Right testicular biopsy confirmed noncaseating granulomas, establishing the diagnosis of testicular sarcoidosis.

  • The patient experienced clinical improvement and complete resolution of the left testicular mass following a short course of steroid therapy.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering sarcoidosis in the differential diagnosis of testicular masses, even in the absence of pulmonary symptoms.
    • Early recognition and appropriate treatment, such as corticosteroids, can lead to favorable outcomes in testicular sarcoidosis.
    • Further research into the prevalence and optimal management of extrathoracic sarcoidosis manifestations is warranted.
