Mammary-type myofibroblastomas (MFBs) are benign spindle cell tumors, typically presenting in common locations such as the breast, abdomen, and inguinal region. We present a case of a 66-year-old male with a four-year history of painless scrotal swelling. The preoperative diagnosis was challenging, with an initial suspicion of soft tissue sarcoma. A complete surgical excision was performed, revealing a well-circumscribed, encapsulated mass. The tumor measured 30 x 20 x 14 cm, weighing 5.28 kg. Histopathology confirmed an MFB. This exceptionally large paratesticular MFB emphasizes the diagnostic difficulty of such tumors. Surgical resection remains the treatment of choice, with an excellent prognosis. This case highlights the importance of considering MFB in the differential diagnosis of scrotal masses, even with atypical presentations.
乳腺型肌纤维母细胞瘤(MFBs)是一种良性梭形细胞瘤,通常出现在乳房、腹部和腹股沟区等常见部位。我们报告一例66岁男性,有四年无痛性阴囊肿胀病史。术前诊断具有挑战性,最初怀疑为软组织肉瘤。进行了完整的手术切除,发现一个边界清晰、有包膜的肿块。肿瘤大小为30×20×14cm,重5.28kg。组织病理学证实为MFB。这个异常大的睾丸旁MFB强调了此类肿瘤的诊断难度。手术切除仍然是首选治疗方法,预后良好。该病例突出了在阴囊肿块的鉴别诊断中考虑MFB的重要性,即使是不典型表现。
