ABSTRACT
La granulomatosis con poliangeítis (GPA) es una vasculitis autoinmune que raramente afecta al tracto genitourinario inferior. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 53 años que debutó con una masa retroperitoneal y posteriormente desarrolló un hidrocele multiseptado izquierdo que condicionó un infarto testicular. El informe anatomopatológico de la orquiectomía reveló hallazgos sugestivos de GPA.(AU)

We share the case of a 53-year-old man who presented with a retroperitoneal mass and thereafter developed a left multiseptated hydrocele that conditioned a testicular infarction. The pathology report of the orchidectomy was consistent with GPA.(AU)
