The reported association between sarcoidosis and malignancy has relevance both to the diagnosis of the cause of lymphadenopathy and possibly also to the prognosis of the malignant disease. A case is reported in which mediastinal lymphadenopathy due to non-caseating epithelioid granulomata caused diagnostic difficulty in the staging investigation of a patient with malignant testicular teratoma.
