Systemic sarcoidosis is often diagnosed late. A 37 year-old man from the Antilles was admitted for evaluation of arthralgia, subcutaneous and cutaneous nodules, multiple enlarged lymph nodes, and an epididymal lump. He had been given a diagnosis of epididymal and nodal tuberculosis but had not responded to antitubercular agents. Gallium-67 scintigraphy showed multiple hot spots in the soft tissues, skin, muscles, mediastinum, and lachrymal glands, producing a diffuse dappled pattern. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thighs confirmed the muscular and subcutaneous involvement. Systemic sarcoidosis was diagnosed. Prednisone therapy was promptly effective. We suggest the term "dappled-body sign" or "leopard-man sign" to designate the heretofore undescribed scintigraphic pattern in our patient.

Cystic lymphangiomas are usually congenital malformations of draining lymphatic channels with most common sites including neck, axilla, mediastinum and retroperitoneum. Occurrence of lymphangiomas in scrotum or inguinal region is a rare entity and epididymal origin of these lesions is even more infrequent. We herein report a case of epididymal lymphangioma detected on USG, which developed after surgical abdominal lymph nodal dissection in an adult patient of carcinoma rectum presenting as painless scrotal swelling.
