[Adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis. Report of a new case].
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.
