[Peri-testicular fibromatosis (testicular fibrous pseudotumor)].
OBJECTIVE
We report a case of fibromatous periorchitis, a rare entity that may have differential diagnosis problems with other lesions.


METHODS
Our patient underwent a surgical procedure with resection of the tunica vaginalis testis after intraoperative histological evaluation.


RESULTS
Findings observed in both intraoperative biopsy and specimen histopathological study were key for diagnosis.


CONCLUSIONS
Although macroscopic appearance of the lesion can be of great value, fibromatous periorchitis diagnosis is based on the histologic features, being important to avoid erroneous therapeutic decisions.
