[Granulomatous orchitis].
Granulomatous orchitis is a rare inflammatory disease of poorly understood etiology. Its differentiation from testicular tumor is difficult and is resistant to antibiotic therapy. Five cases of this disease are reported. In 3 of them orchiectomy was performed and in 2 the testis was preserved after biopsy specimen examination. Relapses or injury to the contralateral testis were not recorded during the follow-up period. A review of the literature is made and the etiopathogenesis, clinical and therapeutic aspects of this disease are discussed.
