Xanthogranulomatous orchitis: A rare case of testicular mass

Xanthogranulomatous epididymo-orchitis: A single-institutional case series and systematic review

“…Eight cases reported isolation of Escherichia coli in culture and 3 cases showed the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [ 1 6 8 9 11 13 17 18 20 25 32 ] Although Gram-negative bacterial infection is common, in one of our cases, Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus was isolated in culture. Role of Staphylococcus aureus in the pathogenesis of xanthogranulomatous adrenalitis has also been emphasized by one of the authors.…”

“…XGEO is a rare disease process with a description of 38 cases reported in 29 articles in medical literature. [ 1 2 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 ] The details of demographics and clinical profile of the patients are summarized in Table 1 . Most of these cases have been reported from the Asian continent ( n = 18), followed by Europe ( n = 13), North America ( n = 3), Africa ( n = 2), and 1 case each from South America and Australia.…”

Xanthogranulomatous Orchitis With Testicular Atrophy in a Case of Chronic Pyocele: A Rare Case

“…Certain stains, such as Grocott and Periodic acid-Schiff stains for fungal organisms, Ziehl-Neelsen for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Wade-Fite for Mycobacterium leprae , and Ziehl-Neelsen for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can be used to visualize atypical infections, especially those involving mycoplasma or fungal organisms, which can cause granulomatous reactions. In our case, the drained fluid and histopathology did not reveal signs of tuberculosis, which was earlier kept as a differential diagnosis [ 4 , 7 , 8 ].…”

“…It can be difficult to distinguish between the two illnesses because these indicators may stay within normal levels in some forms of testicular tumors. As a result, histological investigation of the tissue sample taken during surgery is frequently crucial to an appropriate diagnosis [ 2 , 4 , 7 , 8 ].…”

“…Orchidectomy is the gold standard for XGO. On a microscopic level, XGO has groups of foamy histiocytes and other inflammatory cells that help destroy the testicular tissue [ 7 , 8 ].…”
