title: Two cases of an intrascrotal cystic mass mimicking a testicular tumor and review of the literature.
abstract: A 39-year-old man had a 15-year history of an enlarging, firm, nontender mass on the right side of the scrotum after perineal trauma. Right high inguinal orchiectomy was performed, and the histopathological diagnosis was chronic hematocele. A 50-year-old man had a 2-year history of an enlarging, firm, nontender mass on the left side of the scrotum. Left high inguinal orchiectomy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was a thick membranous hydrocele associated with chronic epididymitis. There were various clinical and histopathological similarities between the two cases. We discuss other intrascrotal cystic masses similar to our cases along with a review of the literature.
