Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease that characteristically involves the lungs and lymph nodes. Involvement of the genitourinary system is rare. We report the case of a 39-year-old African American man who presented with an asymptomatic right-sided epididymal mass and underwent partial epididymectomy. Pathologic analysis revealed numerous noncaseating granulomas. Results from computed tomography imaging of the chest and lung biopsy were consistent with sarcoidosis.
结节病是一种多系统炎症性疾病，其特征是累及肺部和淋巴结。泌尿生殖系统受累较为罕见。我们报告一例39岁非裔美国男性病例，该患者出现无症状的右侧附睾肿块并接受了部分附睾切除术。病理分析显示大量非干酪样肉芽肿。胸部计算机断层扫描成像和肺活检结果与结节病相符。
