Abstract

We present the first case of lupus presenting with testicular pain in an Asian man. This gentleman presented with clear features of lupus with fever, joint pain, rash, diarrhoea and vomiting. He had typical serology consistent with active lupus. He also developed testicular pain and all his symptoms improved with oral steroids and azathioprine. It is therefore important to consider connective tissue disease in patients presenting with testicular pain that are systematically unwell.
