Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease with unknown etiology, which presents in a various organs in the body, mostly lungs. Histologically non-caseating granuloma formation is accepted as pathognomonic for diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis rarely affects urological system. Sarcoidosis of bilateral epididymis causes oligospermia. Here, we present 25-year-old patient diagnosed with lung sarcoidosis 2 years ago, consulted our clinic with pain and stiffness in the right testicle for a year and recently in the left testicle, and treated with testis sparing approach with light of current literature.

Özet

Sarkoidoz, nedeni henüz belli olmayan ve vücudun birçok organında, özellikle akciğerde görülebilen sistemik bir hastalıktır. Sarkoidoz tanısı için histolojik olarak non-kazeöz granülomatöz reaksiyonun görülmesi patognomonik bulgu olarak kabul edilir. Sarkoidozun ürogenital sistemi tutması enderdir. Sarkoidozun bilateral epididimleri tutması oligospermiye neden olur. Burada 2 yıl önce akciğer sarkoidozu tanısı alan, 1 yıldır sağ testiste ve son zamanlarda sol testiste başlayan ağrı ve sertlik nedeniyle kliniğimize başvuran 25 yaşındaki hastanın testis koruyucu yaklaşım ile değerlendirilmesi ve tedavisinin planlanması literatür eşliğinde sunulmuştur.
