Abstract:
Calcifying fibrous tumor of the tunica vaginalis is a rare fibrous proliferation, which can sometimes mimic a scrotal malignancy prompting surgical intervention. It has been recognized as a benign lesion, and no recurrence has been described after its resection. Its identification is essential to avoid overtreatment and unnecessary orchiectomy. We herein describe a rare case of calcifying fibrous tumor of the tunica vaginalis in a young patient and review the clinical features of inguinal and scrotal calcifying fibrous tumors to help clinical decisions and encourage a testis sparing surgery.
