Benign fibrous paratesticular tumors.
Utilizing the criteria of Goodwin, a case each of chronic proliferative periorchitis and multiple fibromas of the tunica vaginalis testis causing paratesticular tumors is presented and discussed. Both of these rate processes appear to be distinct and separate clinical entities, although they appear to be similar histologically. With increased awareness by those treating intrascrotal masses, these processes may be correctly recognized and more testes may be salvaged.
