The differential diagnosis of the acutely enlarged testis includes numerous benign and malignant disease processes. Most are treated with radical orchiectomy due to difficulty in differentiating between these disorders preoperatively. Saving the involved testis, prevention of recurrent infectious disease in the opposite testis and prevention of systemic manifestations of testicular disease are but a few of the reasons for accurate diagnosis of the acute scrotum. We report a rare case of brucellosis presenting as an acute scrotal mass and stress the importance of accurately identifying the specific etiology of testicular pathology to prevent long-term morbidity.

Localized amyloidosis of the urethra is a rare pathological entity that may resemble neoplastic disease. Biopsy is required to make the appropriate diagnosis. Although localized therapy is available for obstructing, symptomatic lesions, asymptomatic lesions may be followed with conservative management and spontaneous regression has been reported. In addition, an appropriate medical evaluation should be performed to determine the presence of systemic amyloidosis.

... The chance of treatment failure in monotherapy has been reported to be higher than in combined treatment, so the medical treatment should include dual or triple regimens of antibiotics [1,10]. In addition, some scholars mentioned orchiectomy as the standard option for the treatment of Brucella orchitis, followed by oral tetracycline for about six weeks with intramuscular streptomycin for two weeks to decrease the relapses [2,11]. In a study by Kaya et al., the findings of nine cases with brucellar orchi-epididymitis have been summarized, and the primary management in six cases was orchiectomy [4]. ...

... Amyloidosis is an uncommon condition characterized by the deposition of abnormal β-sheet fibrillar proteins in various organs including the kidneys, spleen, and liver [1][2]. It is found less commonly in the genitourinary tract, particularly in the urethra; fewer than 60 cases of urethral amyloidosis have been described in the literature [3][4]. Urethral amyloidosis can present at any age; but, it is mostly found in males with initial presenting symptoms including hematuria, dysuria, urethral discharge, penile induration or masses, and gross urethral bleeding [4][5]. ...
