Fibrous pseudotumour of the paratesticular region
Diagnosis in short

Paratesticular fibrous pseudotumour. H&E stain.
LM spindle cells with moderate eosinophilic cytoplasm and indistinct cellular borders, no significant nuclear atypia
LM DDx leiomyoma, fibroma of the tunics, fibromatosis, solitary fibrous tumour, inflammatory pseudotumour
IHC CD34 +ve/-ve, S-100 -ve, desmin -ve, keratins -ve
Site paratesticular region
Prevalence very rare
Prognosis good
Clin. DDx other paratesticular lesions and testicular lesions
Treatment surgical excision to exclude serious pathology
