Abstract
BackgroundParatesticular fibrous pseudotumour is a rare benign growth with unclear pathogenesis and clinical management. It has been linked to Serum IgG4-related disease. This mass can notoriously masquerade around as a malignancy; however, a conservative (testis sparing) approach is sufficient as surgical management.Case presentationWe present the case of a 35-year-old gentleman who presented with a slow growing paratesticular mass, raising the suspicion of a malignancy. However, normal tumour markers and benign appearance on imaging modalities compelled us to give trial of local excision with intra-operative frozen section analysis. After confirmation of benign pathology of the mass, the incision was closed. Final histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of benign paratesticular fibrous pseudotumour, and serum IgG levels were noted to be elevated.ConclusionThus, using tumour markers, radiological imaging and intraoperative frozen section, a potential radical resection can be avoided, testis sparing surgery, employed.
