Abstract
A review of the English literature revealed 43 cases of histologically proven intrascrotal sarcoidosis, Due to this relative rarity, the dif ficulty in diagnosis and concern of possible testicular malignancy, 35 % of these patients have undergone unnecessary orchiectomy. We present 3 cases of intrascrotal sarcoidosis and propose a testicular-sparing strategy for the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of intrascrotal s arcoidosis.
