Summary::  Xanthogranulomatous orchitis is an extremely rare inflammatory non‐neoplastic destructive lesion of the testis. We report a 44‐year‐old man who presented with right scrotal swelling and two discharging sinuses. Testicular tumor markers were normal. Scrotal ultrasound showed heterogeneous testicular areas and irregular margin of the tunica. Surgical exploration revealed infected, unhealthy testicular tissue with necrosis and tumor‐like lesion. Orchidectomy was done and histopathology showed xanthogranulomatous orchitis.
