Abstract
We report the case of a 73-year-old patient who presented clinically w ith a palpable left scrotal mass after a 3-month history of therapy-re sistant epidiymitis. He underwent epidiymectomy, and the following his topathologic and immunohistochemical evaluation revealed an inflammato ry pseudotumor. We present the second case of an inflammatory pseudotu mor of the epididymis being reported in the literature and give a brie f review of the literature concerning this very rare neoplastic entity .
