Inflammatory pseudotumor of the tunica albuginea and the tunica vaginalis: Case-report

Abstract

Inflammatory pseudo tumor of the tunica is rare and typically presents as long standing, painless scrotal mass.A 23-year-old man had palpable, multiple, hard scrotal masses for 3 months. Laboratory investigations were normal (including LDH, AFP, HCG).Radical inguinal orchiectomy done.Macroscopically the testis and epididymis were normal, with multiple gray nodules surrounding the testis and epididymis, attached to the tunica albuginea and vaginalis, had smooth surface, partly whorled cut surface.Histologically, the nodules were well circumscribed, consisting of fibrous tissue, with infiltration by plasma cells and mononuclear inflammatory cells, giving the diagnosis of plasma cell granulomas.
