RODRIGUEZ COLLAR, Tomás Lázaro; VALDES ESTEVEZ, Basily; NAGUA VALENCIA, Miguel Ángel  and  SALINAS OLIVARES, Mercedes Rita. Calcified fibrous pseudotumor of spermatic cord. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2009, vol.48, n.4. ISSN 0034-7493.

Paratesticular tumors are infrequent and most are benigns. This a case presentation of a patient aged 24 with a history of good health coming to our consultation by presence of a hard and painless 4 cm tumor in right scrotum with a 6 months course. Scrotal ultrasound (US) showed a well circumscribed heterogeneous lesion separate of epididymis and the testis. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) was not possible by hardness of tumor. A inguinal surgery was performed and the total tumor exeresis using freezing biopsy negative of malignancy. Final histopathological report was: calcified fibrous pseudotumor of spermatic cord. Patient's course has been satisfactory. Significance of inguinal surgery was confirmed for the paratesticular tumor approach, even more when FNAB it is not conclusive for diagnosis.

Keywords : Spermatic cord; calcified fibrous pseudotumor; diagnosis; treatment.
