[Differential diagnosis of testicular neoplasms. Tumorous and clinically tumor-like diseases of the scrotum].

The observation of a case of inguinal omental hernia with marked peritoneal carcinosis treated by operation for suspected testicular tumor leads us to discuss systematically the differential diagnosis of tumors and tumor-like conditions of the scrotal region. In order to analyse the frequency and importance 420 cases of ours were reconsidered. Of these 30 had been admitted to our hospital because of suspicion of tumors of the testis. The diagnosis on admission and after morphological analysis by the pathologist are compared.
