Abstract
We report an unusual case of a 28-year-old male with constitutional symptoms and bilateral testicular pain. After diagnosis of cytomegalovirus hepatitis, his constitutional symptoms and testicular pain worsened despite treatment for epididymoorchitis. Ultrasound was concerning for infarction. Exploration in the operating room revealed bilateral testicular infarction requiring bilateral orchiectomy with subsequent androgen hormone replacement. Pathologic diagnosis was polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). PAN is a rare systemic vasculitis that affects multiple organs. There are no previous reports of PAN-induced vasculitis leading to bilateral testicular infarction and bilateral orchiectomy.
