Testicular involvement of sarcoidosis diagnosed by gallium-67 scintigraphy

Eur J Nucl Med. 1991;18(7):507-10. doi: 10.1007/BF00181289.

Abstract

Gallium-67 scintigraphy helped to determine the extent of systemic sarcoidosis and demonstrated testicular involvement in a 32-year-old black man who presented with ataxia, weight loss, and a left testicular mass. To our knowledge, this is the first case of testicular sarcoidosis demonstrated by gallium-67 scintigraphy in a patient with systemic sarcoidosis.
