Cellular angiofibromas (CAFs) are infrequent and benign soft-tissue tumors that primarily affect the genitourinary region in both genders. The authors report the case of a 71-year-old male patient who exhibited progressively increasing swelling in both testicles, with greater prominence noted on the left side. Initial findings from physical examination and scrotal ultrasound indicated the possibility of bilateral hydrocele, so the patient was recommended surgical intervention of the left more prominent side. Intraoperatively, a left paratesticular mass was identified and subsequently excised. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of cellular angiofibroma. Surgeons should be cognizant of this tumor type to optimize treatment strategies, as local excision demonstrates a potential to preserve the testicle and yield favorable outcomes. Although occurrences of local recurrence are extremely rare, long-term follow-up is imperative.
细胞性血管纤维瘤(CAFs)是一种罕见的良性软组织肿瘤,主要影响两性的泌尿生殖区域。作者报告了一例71岁男性患者的病例,该患者双侧睾丸肿胀逐渐加重,左侧更为明显。体格检查和阴囊超声的初步结果提示双侧鞘膜积液的可能性,因此建议患者对左侧更突出的一侧进行手术干预。术中发现左侧睾丸旁有一肿块,随后将其切除。组织病理学分析证实为细胞性血管纤维瘤。外科医生应认识到这种肿瘤类型,以优化治疗策略,因为局部切除有可能保留睾丸并产生良好的效果。虽然局部复发极为罕见,但长期随访是必要的。
