title: [Adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis. Report of a new case].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report on an additional case of adenomatoid tumor of the right epididymis, a rare benign intrascrotal mass.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 41-year-old man consulted for severe scrotal pain. Physical examination disclosed a mass in the right epididymis which was confirmed by scrotal ultrasound. A right orchidectomy was performed. Histological analysis of the surgical specimen disclosed a benign adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although most scrotal solid masses are malignant tumors, those arising in the epididymis are frequently benign; therefore a conservative approach is recommended.
