Adenomatoid tumors are regarded as distinctive benign mesothelial neoplasms of the paratesticular region, most commonly occuring at the tail of the epididymidis.Because of its rarity, the clinical and histopathological aspects are discussed.
We present the case of a 41-year-old patient with an adenomatoid tumour located in the tail of the left epididymis that referred to our department with gradual enlarged intrascrotal mass. The diagnosis was achieved by echography, and was confirmed by surgical excision and histological analysis.
Due to its low incidence in intrascrotal pathology, we believe it is important for the physician to be aware of this interesting entity in order to make a differential diagnosis from other inflammatory processes and to adopt the proper surgical approach.
腺瘤样瘤被视为睾丸旁区域独特的良性间皮肿瘤，最常发生于附睾尾部。因其罕见，故对其临床和组织病理学特征进行讨论。
我们报告一例41岁患者，其左侧附睾尾部有一腺瘤样瘤，因阴囊内肿物逐渐增大前来我科就诊。通过超声检查做出诊断，并经手术切除及组织学分析得以证实。
鉴于其在阴囊疾病中的低发病率，我们认为医生了解这一有趣的疾病实体很重要，以便与其他炎症性病变进行鉴别诊断并采取适当的手术方法。
