title: [Testicular infarction as a cause of benign intrascrotal tumor].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We report on a patient with an increase in testicular size that had been initially diagnosed as neoplasm.
  
  
  METHODS
  The ultrasound and histological findings, the atypical clinical features and possible causes are analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Segmental infarction with diffuse testicular atrophy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Infarction of testis may atypically present as a testicular mass that may lead us to suspect a testicular neoplasm since the age of presentation of both types of lesions are similar.
