Description

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. (orig.)
