A Case Report of Benign Scrotal Paratesticular Fibrous Pseudotumor: Diagnosis Spared the Orchiectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of scrotal paratesticular fibrous pseudotumor found to be originated from tunica albuginea in a 30year old male patient presenting as a painful palpable mass in the left hemiscrotum. Pre-operative scrotal ultrasonographic evaluation revealed a solid hypoechoic mass, measuring 2.86 cm x 2.81cm, presenting with areas of internal calcification underneath the inferior pole of testis together with a hydrocele. The hypoechoic mass was of paratesticular origin probably arising from the tunica. Scrotal MRI verified this impression. Scrotal exploration, frozen biopsy, and local excision of the tumor was performed. Post-operative histopathological analysis further confirmed the diagnosis. This case report highlights the potential value of MRI in the evaluation of paratesticular tumors and sparing the orchiectomya usually performed surgical procedure in such cases.

We present a case of fibrous pseudotumor of the epididymis and tunica vaginalis which is one of the rarest paratesticular tumors. Fibrous pseudotumor presents as a solid scrotal mass with normal serum markers. Pathological examination is the only reliable way to make the diagnosis with these tumors exhibiting characteristic macroscopic and microscopic features. It is important to recognize this...

Intrascrotal benign fibrous proliferations are uncommon and mostly arise from paratesticular region falling into the category of fibrous pseudotumor which is characterized by nodular growth composed of probably reactive proliferation of fibroblasts and inflammatory cells. Although benign, this often clinically mimics intrascrotal malignancy and usually remains undiagnosed preoperatively. Here, ...

INTRODUCTION Paratesticular fibrous pseudotumors represent benign new growths confined to intrascrotal structures. Both pathogenesis and clinical management are little understood due to the rarity of the lesion, with less than 200 cases reported to date. Recently, paratesticular fibrous pseudotumors have been postulated to be immunoglobulin G4-related, pathogenetically. Here we report two cases...
