Abstract

Sarcoidosis of the genitourinary system is an extremely rare phenomenon. We report the case of a 46-year-old male with neurosarcoidosis and bilateral hypoechoic masses on scrotal ultrasound. Organ-sparing ultrasound guided percutaneous biopsy was successful in establishing a diagnosis of testicular sarcoidosis, minimally invasive without morbidity.
