Benign fibrous pseudotumor of the vaginalis testis: a case report.

in this study, the authors have reported a case of a benign fibrous pseudotumor of the tunica vaginalis testis in a 24-year old man who was admitted with a left scrotal mass. Scrotal ultrasound and surgical investigation demonstrated the presence of a left testicular tumor; radical orchiectomy was performed by inguinal route. Microscopic examination revealed a pseudotumor of the testicular tunica vaginalis. As this is an uncommon lesion and preoperative diagnosis is difficult, unneccessary radical orchidectomy is often carried out. (C) 2000 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
