Intrascrotal Sarcoidosis in a Pediatric Patient

Author and Disclosure Information

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease with diverse skin manifestations and systemic involvement. We describe an adolescent boy who presented with unilateral scrotal swelling, constitutional symptoms, and a rash. Further workup demonstrated lymphadenopathy and pulmonary opacities. Granulomas caused by sarcoidosis were identified in biopsy specimens of the epididymis and skin lesions. No acid-fast organisms were found in biopsy specimens, and the patient had negative findings on placement of purified protein derivative (tuberculin). The concentration of angiotensin‑converting enzyme was not elevated. We discuss pediatric sarcoidosis and, more specifically, intrascrotal sarcoidosis.
