Pseudotumour of the Testis—Awareness Prevents Mismanagement

Inflammatory pseudotumour of the testis is a rare but important clinical entity to be recognised by the surgical trainee. We present a case of a 30-year-old gentleman who presented with a hard painless testicular mass. Ultrasound scrotum revealed a diffuse paratesticular swelling arising from the tunica vaginalis with a normal-appearing testis. Germ cell tumour markers were normal. Exploration through an inguinal approach confirmed it to be arising from the tunica vaginalis. Wide excision of the tumour along with a cuff of adherent tunica albuginea was done. Final histopathology revealed a diffuse fibrous pseudotumour of the tunica vaginalis confirming its benign nature.
