The main disorders that can masquerade as a uveitis are intraocular tumours, postoperative infections or degenerative conditions. Reporting a 35-year male who presented with unilateral painless blurring of vision in left eye, 3 month old painless swelling in left testis. Ocular and systemic evaluation revealed chronic granulomatous panuveitis of left eye, spermatocytic seminoma of left testis, para aortic lymphadenopathy, bilateral enlarged adrenals and bilateral pneumatocele.
