title: [Idiopathic granulomatous orchitis: pathologic study of one case].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report one case of idiopathic granulomatous orchitis, an extremely rare disease, in a 76-year-old patient.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The pathology department received a testicle with the clinical/radiological diagnosis of testicular tumor. The pathologic study showed absence of neoplasias and presence of morphological findings compatible with idiopathic granulomatous orchitis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The idiopathic granulomatous orchitis is an entity of unknown etiology, clinically or ultrasonographically not distinguishable from testicular neoplasias, the diagnosis of which is made after orchiectomy.
