Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous process of obscure origin. Although the disorder is characterized by multisystem disease, involvement of the genital tract is uncommon. The purpose of this paper is to record a patient with a scrotal mass as a presenting symptom of sarcoid. Sarcoidosis should be considered when the differential diagnosis of scrotal masses is under consideration.

CASE REPORT

An 18-year-old black man was admitted to the Adolescent Service of Long Island Jewish-Hillside Medical Center with the chief complaint of a right scrotal mass. His past medical history and review of symptoms were entirely negative except for a 14-lb weight loss in four months.
