Ultrasonographic findings of epididymal sarcoidosis.
We report a rare case of systemic sarcoidosis involving the epididymis. An irregularly shaped heterogeneous lesion was identified with ultrasonography in the left caput epididymidis. Microscopically, a number of noncaseating epithelioid cell granulomas were found in the epididymal tissue.
