Epididymal Adenomatoid Tumour: A Case Report

Adenomatoid tumours are rare benign neoplasm involving the para testicular region, mostly the tail of the epididymis. They are typically small, firm and asymptomatic masses in the scrotal region and often discovered incidentally during physical examination or imaging studies. It is very challenging...

description Adenomatoid tumours are rare benign neoplasm involving the para testicular region, mostly the tail of the epididymis. They are typically small, firm and asymptomatic masses in the scrotal region and often discovered incidentally during physical examination or imaging studies. It is very challenging to differentiate them clinically and radiologically from malignant intratesticular solid tumours, which may lead to unnecessary orchidectomies. This case report presents the clinical management of a 57-year-old male patient with adenomatoid tumour of the epididymis, highlighting the diagnostic workup, surgical approach and postoperative outcomes. In addition, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to discuss the morphological and immunohistochemical features to improve understanding of these rare lesions and assist in accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
