Granulomatous orchitis is a rare disease, first described by Grunberg in 1926 [1]. The most common clinical features that characterize granulomatous orchitis are scrotal swelling, mass and/or pain. The diagnosis is mainly histological because clinical and sonographic aspects may be not conclusive.

Granulomatous orchitis is usually accompanied by fever, pain, testicular enlargement, and tenderness in the scrotal region. Idiopathic cases are usually unilateral (more often involving the right side) but may be bilateral. The predominant histologic finding is intratubular infiltrates of epithelioid histiocytes, lymphocytes, and plasma cells.

Granulomatous orchitis may be secondary to infection, trauma, autoimmune diseases, or extravasation of sperm. Some of the specific causative agents include tuberculosis, syphilis, leprosy, and brucellosis. In many cases, the cause remains unknown (idiopathic).

Idiopathic granulomatous orchitis (IGO) is a rare inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology affecting the testis. Presented here is the case of a young patient who developed IGO, potentially associated with an anti-sperm antibody-mediated autoimmune response. 1. Introduction

2021年2月13日 · We report the disease characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of granulomatous orchitis. A 38-year-old man presented with a history of intermittent swelling, pain, and discomfort in the right testicle of 3 days’ duration.

Xanthogranulomatous orchitis (XGO) is an uncommon benign lesion and an important cause of testicular mass. It should always be kept as an important differential diagnosis while evaluating testicular lesions. We report a rare case of XGO in a 45-year-old male who presented with a right scrotal swelling.

Granulomatous orchitis usually presents as a testicular mass mimicking malignancy. No definite etiological factor has been found to date; however, trauma, genitourinary tract infection, sperm extravasation, and autoimmune disease have been postulated as …

Granulomatous orchitis describes a non-infective inflammation of the testis that is characterised histologically, by a diffuse, granulomatous infiltrate. It is common, and mainly follows trauma or …

One case of granulomatous orchitis and three cases of spermatic granuloma are described and the clinial and pathologic features of the two syndromes are discussed. Since no certain diagnosis is possible on clinical grounds alone, it rests on the evidence of pathology.

2017年3月8日 · In the idiopathic granulomatous orchitis of the tubular type, the granulomatous lesion develops concentrically affecting all tubular structures. The giant cells appear in the central part of the tubules and not only in the thickness of the peritubular myoid cells.
