[Adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis].
OBJECTIVE
The present work will give a general view of the epididymis adenomatoid tumour, an unusual pathology reviewing its differential diagnosis and therapeutical choices.


RESULTS
We present the case of a 32-year-old patient with an adenomatoid tumour located in the tail of the left epididymis. The diagnosis was achieved by echography, and was confirmed by surgical excision and histological analysis.


CONCLUSIONS
Due to its low incidence in intrascrotal pathology, we believe it is important to know about this illness in order to make a differential diagnosis from other inflammatory processes and to adopt a surgical approach more frequently, due to its high diagnostic-therapeutical rentability and low morbidity.
