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

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