Abstract

Paratesticular tumours are tumours arising from within the scrotum not of testicular origin. They may originate from the epididymis, spermatic cord, tunica vaginalis and other supporting structures. Preoperative diagnosis can be difficult as benign and malignant cases are often indistinguishable and may be confused with other benign or malignant pathology (testicular tumours or hernias).We describe the presentation and management of a patient managed at our centre (a tertiary referral teaching hospital).A high index of suspicion for malignancy should be considered when managing atypical scrotal lumps to ensure optimal management. This is particularly important when managing sarcomas due to the risk of local recurrence and spread.
