title: [A man with a scrotal swelling].
abstract: A 24-year-old man presented with a solid swelling of the right hemi scrotum at the urological out-patient unit. Ultrasound and CT-scan showed a herniation in the scrotum in which a solid mass was visible. After surgical resection and pathological examination it was determined to be a desmoid tumor, either of intra-abdominal origin having herniated through the inguinal annulus, or originating from a previously herniated omentum in the scrotum. Adjuvant chemotherapy, due to the limited added value and the possible consequences for fertility.
