Testicular schwannoma is a very rare benign scrotal tumor. It is a painless mass, but sometimes referred because of pain or sensory losses. Tumor markers are normal and radical orchidectomy is its best treatment. Here we present an unusual case of intrascrotal schwannoma in a 57 year old man, with a review of the literature.

Benign testicular tumours are rare and represent only 1-3.5% of all testicular growths and ofthesetrue cysts of the testis are the least common. Clinically these masses may be difficult to differentiate from a more ominous solid neop lasm. We report a case of ...

Misdiagnosing testicular torsion can lead to organ loss,cosmetic deformity, and compromised fertility. Modem ultrasound examination of the scrotum is the test of choice for acute scrotal pathology a...
