title: Uncommon benign intrascrotal tumours.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Benign intrascrotal tumours are rare.
  
  
  METHODS
  Three patients with bilateral paratesticular leiomyomas, an adenomatoid tumour of the testis and a left paratesticular dermoid cyst coexisting with a synchronous left paratesticular epidermal cyst are presented. These tumours were discrete, hard and smooth lesions, in which the diagnosis of malignancy could not be safely excluded preoperatively even with ultrasonography.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The first patient had orchiectomy with contralateral testicular preserving surgery, the second patient underwent orchiectomy and the third had conservative testicular surgery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Awareness of these benign tumours may allow for testicular preservation.
