Epididymal germinoma: Reality or myth?

Epididymal tumours are rare, but definite pathological entity. Most tumours are benign, however, malignant lesions have also been reported. The common benign tumours are either leiomyomas or adenomatoid tumours. Malignant pathologies include primary epididymal adenocarcinoma, liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, mesothelioma and lymphoma. We present a case of a 45-year-old male referred urgently for suspected scrotal mass which on ultrasonography showed a lesion in the left epididymal head (possible granuloma).
