We present the case of a 48 year-old man with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis who was brought to our centre with a progressively increasing left testicular mass. Radiological findings were not conclusive on whether the mass was neoplastic or infectious in nature. Therefore, an orchiectomy was performed. Pathology examination revealed coccidioidomycosis of the left testicle, highlighting an exceedingly rare presentation of disseminated genitourinary coccidioidomycosis.
