OBJECTIVE Paratesticular tumors, which comprise a heterogeneous group of entities, are often described in case reports in the literature. In this study, we present histomorphological, immunohistochemical and clinical features of six cases with paratesticular sarcoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS Six cases with paratesticular sarcoma diagnosed in our hospital between 1997 and 2012 were included in thi...

INTRODUCTION The vast majority of paratesticular masses are benign. Magnetic resonance imaging of the scrotum may provide valuable information in the pre-operative work-up of scrotal masses, by allowing the precise localization of the lesion and helping in characterizing its nature. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is an evolving technique that can be used to improve tissue charact...

Tumors of the paratesticular region most often arise from the soft tissue surrounding the spermatic cord and the epididymis or from the soft tissue (dartos muscle) of the scrotal wall. Paratesticular tumors, despite their rarity, present a high incidence of malignancy (30%), and the therapeutic approach of choice is surgical resection with negative margin. The grade, the histology type, the pre...

The angiomyofibroblastoma-like tumor of the male genital tract is a rare benign tumor. A total of 34 cases have been reported in the literature. We herein report an exceptional case of solidocystic form in its paratesticular location, in a 79-year-old man. Clinical examination objectified a right testicular induration. Macroscopic examination of the orchidectomy objectified a paratesticular sol...

INTRODUCTION An embryonic paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a very rare mesenchymal tumor. It is an intrascrotal tumor that is localized in paratesticular structures such as the epididymis or spermatic cord. Rhabdomyosarcoma is most often observed in children and adolescents, presenting as a painless scrotal mass. CASE PRESENTATION Our patient was an 18-year-old Moroccan man who presented wi...

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...

OBJECTIVE To describe the case of a patient with paratesticular hemangiopericytoma and to perform a bibliographic review. METHODS We describe the case of a patient with paratesticular hemangiopericytoma. We conducted an exhaustive literature review in different databases to support the case discussion. RESULTS We present the case of a 64 year old male with a progressively growing mass in th...

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 testi...
