Sažetak
Symptomatic vasculitis confined to the testis without clinical or laboratory evidence of systemic disease is extremely rare. It is difficult to diagnose it clinically or using noninvasive methods and therapy of this condition is still controversially. We present necrotising vasculitis of the testicle as isolated organ affected. A 25-year-old man, pretreated as epididymo-orchitis, presented with a presumed testicular neoplasm. Radical orchiectomy was performed and diagnosis of necrotising vasculitis established. In absence of any other sign of a systemic disease the diagnosis of isolated necrotising vasculitis of the testis was confirmed. Two years after the operation the patient showed no symptoms of a systemic disease.
