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.
结节病是一种全身性炎症性疾病，主要影响肺部、淋巴系统和皮肤。约50%的病例会出现胸外表现；然而，它很少影响男性生殖道。爱尔兰文献中首例记录的附睾和睾丸结节病病例是一名25岁男性，他表现为一个1厘米大小的阴囊睾丸外疼痛性肿块。虽然男性生殖道受累罕见，但在睾丸病理学鉴别诊断中应予以考虑。它可以在冰冻切片上诊断出来，并且可以保守治疗。
