Özet
In this paper, we presented a patient, who applied to our clinic because of infertility. After an intensive investigation, we diagnosed systemic sarcoidosis with testicular involvement. Urogenital sarcoidosis is a rare and insidious condition, however, it can lead to infertility. Therefore, following the diagnosis, we applied systemic steroid therapy to the patient. Within one year, the patient had a child without assisted reproductive techniques. According to our experience, in this case, we concluded that infertility without an etiology should be investigated elaborately. Furthermore, urogenital sarcoidosis should keep in mind as a rare etiology.
