title: [Chronic hematocele simulating a testicular tumor. Report of two cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Differential diagnosis of a testicular mass includes inflammatory conditions, malignant tumors and traumatic lesions, including hematomas and hematocele.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We report two cases of chronic hematocele. We discuss the clinico-radiologic characteristic and differential diagnosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Hematocele is difficult to diagnose preoperatively because its symptoms may mimic cysts or neoplasms.
