Abstract:
We report a case of a chronic hematocele and describe its characteristics. The specific pathological lesion of a chronic hematocele consists of several neovascular formations covered by layers of fibrin. These lesions give characteristic ultrasonic and computerized tomographic images, consisting of several sharply circumscribed small spherical areas of soft tissue. When correctly interpreted before the initiation of surgical treatment, these images will obviate an orchiectomy, which is not always necessary.
