Radiological predictive remission factors of pulmonary involvement in systemic sarcoidosis: a computed tomography scan study.

Introduction: As little is known about the prognostic value of CT scan findings at onset in patients presenting with sarcoidosis, we aimed to identify factors independently associated with radiological remission of pulmonary involvement in systemic sarcoidosis on CT scan findings.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive and analytic study of patients with a biopsy proven systemic sarcoidosis. We compared patients on radiological remission (group 1) to those on stabilization or progression (group 2).

Simultaneous testicle and epididymis vasculitis revealing granulomatosis with polyangiitis.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a systemic necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis, which predominantly affects small-sized blood vessels. We aimed to report a case of GPA involving testicles and epididymis taken for malignancy. A 75-year-old patient was admitted for a painful left testicular mass.
