Résumé

Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory condition that primarily
affects the lungs, lymphatic system and skin. Extra thoracic manifestations
occur in about 50% of cases; however, it rarely affects
the male reproductive tract. The first documented case of epididymal
and testicular sarcoid in the Irish literature is of a 25-year-old
male who presented with a painful 1-cm extra-testicular scrotal
mass. While the involvement of the male reproductive tract is
rare, it should be included in the differential of testicular pathology.
It can be diagnosed on frozen section and may be managed
conservatively.
