Abstract:
Glomus tumours are atypical in extracutaneous locations and very rarely located in reproductive organs. We present an unusual case of an incidentally discovered glomus tumour arising from the testis of a 47-year-old man. The testicular occurrence of this tumour type is not only exceptionally rare but also serves to highlight the debate regarding the optimal management of incidentally discovered small testicular lesions.
