title: Nodular periorchitis masquerading as a malignant parafunicular tumor in an adolescent.
abstract: We report on a case of nodular periorchitis, an uncommon perifunicular mass in a 13-year-old adolescent accompanied by contralateral hydrocele. Nodular periorchitis is a rare, fibroproliferative, benign mesenchymal neoplasm of the paratesticular tissues of the scrotum with a low risk for recurrence. Testis-preserving surgery is the treatment of choice.
