title: Inflammatory pseudotumor of the epididymis.
abstract: We report the case of a 73-year-old patient who presented clinically with a palpable left scrotal mass after a 3-month history of therapy-resistant epidiymitis. He underwent epidiymectomy, and the following histopathologic and immunohistochemical evaluation revealed an inflammatory pseudotumor. We present the second case of an inflammatory pseudotumor of the epididymis being reported in the literature and give a brief review of the literature concerning this very rare neoplastic entity.
