Fibrous pseudotumors are a rare type of benign paratesticular mass that normally present to patients in their 30s secondary to local trauma. Here, we describe an 8-year-old male patient that presented with several right testicular masses following an injury 2 years prior. The masses were successfully resected in a testicle-sparing operation. This report describes the unique finding of a reactive fibroinflammatory mass in a pediatric patient, and also highlights the uncertainty of pseudotumor diagnostic criteria that need to be recognized in order to avoid unnecessary orchiectomy.
纤维假瘤是一种罕见的良性附睪肿块类型,通常发生在 30 多岁的患者身上,继发于局部创伤。在这里,我们描述了一位 8 岁男性患者,他在 2 年前受伤后出现了几个右侧睪丸肿块。这些肿块在保留睪丸的手术中被成功切除。本报告描述了一例儿科患者反应性纤维炎性肿块的独特发现,并强调了需要认识到假瘤诊断标准的不确定性,以避免不必要的睪丸切除术。
