[Chronic hematocele simulating a testicular tumor. Report of two cases].
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.
