title: [Adenomatoid tumor of the testes--a rare entity. Clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects].
abstract: Adenomatoid tumor with intra-testicular localization is rare. Although most reported cases arise from the epididymis, rare cases have been reported in the testicular tunica, spermatic cord, ejaculatory ducts, prostate and suprarenal recess. Adenomatoid tumors occur in both sexes and are also found in the uterus, ovary and fallopian tubes of the female genital tract. Adenomatoid tumors are benign proliferations of mesothelial origin. We report the case of a 50-year-old male with an adenomatoid tumor of the left testis. Because of its rarity, the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects as well as the possibilities of testicular preservation are discussed.
