✦ Synopsis

Testicular involvement by sarcoidosis is rare. We report a case of a patient with known sarcoid who had a unilateral testicular nodule with apparent capsular invasion on sonography. The epididymis was normal on both sides. Despite these atypical features, pathology showed the nodule to be a sarcoid granuloma. In patients with sarcoidosis, the differential diagnosis of an intratesticular mass should include testicular involvement by sarcoid.
