Giant cell arteritis involving the testis was identified incidentally upon orchidectomy of a right testicular mass. The mass looked like a malignant process on ultrasound. The patient also had generalised disease and was treated appropriately. Giant cell arteritis involving the bladder, prostate, uterus, and adnexa have been described before. To our knowledge, this is the first described case of giant cell arteritis affecting the testis.
