title: Paratesticular masses: multiple fibromatous pseudotumors. A diagnostic dilemma.
abstract: We report a case regarding a paratesticular mass that was found to be multiple fibromatous pseudotumors. These are rare, benign, solid masses originating from the tunica vaginalis, epididymis, and the tunica albiguinea of the testes. We review the clinical and pathologic aspects of these rarely diagnosed tumors. An increased awareness of this entity can give urologists more confidence in making this rare diagnosis.
