Association of testicular neoplasia and sarcoidosis

Abstract

In this report, we highlight the association of sarcoidosis and testicular cancer in 3 patients and comment on the potential impact of this association on the interpretation of the radiological and pathological findings in suspected cancer. Sarcoidosis, a condition that can coexist with testicular cancer, should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of suspected metastases, particularly as intrathoracic lymphadenopathy may be assumed to represent metastatic disease, which can have radical implications for patient therapy.
