Gastrointestinal stromal tumor presenting as a scrotal mass.
We describe a huge abdominal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) extending through the right inguinal canal. The reported case illustrates that the scrotum might be a place of initial presentation of a GIST growing along preformed anatomical structures. Urologists should be aware of this condition that might be mistaken for a primarily testicular malignancy.
