[Granulomatous orchitis. A case report and review of the literature].

Idiopathic granulomatous orchitis is a rare testicle lesion of unknown etiology. We report one case of a specific granulomatous orchitis. Diagnosis and treatment problems are discussed. Clinically, it can be misdiagnosed as a malignant tumour or tuberculosis. The diagnosis is usually made on histological examination after orchiectomy. The aetiology of this disease is still debated. It is supposed to be associated with sperm extravasation causing self-immune reaction.
