Objective:
We report a case of fibromatous periorchitis, a rare entity that may have differential diagnosis problems with other lesions.
Methods:
Our patient underwent a surgical procedure with resection of the tunica vaginalis testis after intraoperative histological evaluation.
Results:
Findings observed in both intraoperative biopsy and specimen histopathological study were key for diagnosis.
Conclusions:
Although macroscopic appearance of the lesion can be of great value, fibromatous periorchitis diagnosis is based on the histologic features, being important to avoid erroneous therapeutic decisions.
