[Adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis. Report of two cases].
OBJECTIVE
Tumors of the epididymis are rare. They are unusually benign and adenomatoid tumors are the most frequent. Report of two cases of this kind of tumor of the epididymis.


RESULTS
We report two cases of adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis diagnosed at our hospital during last year. Two males, 35 and 54 years old respectively asked for urology consultation about a palpable scrotal mass. They didn't have any other symptoms. Imaging techniques revealed a solid epididymal mass. Epididymectomy was performed. Pathological diagnosis was adenomatoid tumor.


CONCLUSIONS
The majority of epididymal tumors follow a benign course. In the finding of an epididymal mass, after palpation and imaging tests, organ sparing surgery (epididymectomy) is recommended. We will avoid unnecessary orchiectomies.
