We report a case of fibromatous periorchitis, a rare entity that may have differential diagnosis problems with other lesions.
Our patient underwent a surgical procedure with resection of the tunica vaginalis testis after intraoperative histological evaluation.
Findings observed in both intraoperative biopsy and specimen histopathological study were key for diagnosis.
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.
