Adenomatoid Tumor of the Tunica Albuginea in a Boy: A Case Report and Literature Review

Epididymal Adenomatoid Tumour: A Case Report

Adenomatoid tumours are rare benign neoplasm involving the para testicular region, mostly the tail of the epididymis. They are typically small, firm and asymptomatic masses in the scrotal region and often discovered incidentally during physical examination or imaging studies. It is very challenging to differentiate them clinically and radiologically from malignant intratesticular solid tumours, which may lead to unnecessary orchidectomies. This case report presents the clinical management of a 57-year-old male patient with adenomatoid tumour of the epididymis, highlighting the diagnostic workup, surgical approach and postoperative outcomes. In addition, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to discuss the morphological and immunohistochemical features to improve understanding of these rare lesions and assist in accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

Adenomatoid Tumor of Epididymis Associated with Tubular Ectasia of Rete Testis: Sonographic Evaluation

Paratesticular tumors are a relatively rare group of mesenchymal tumors, accounting for 7%-10% of all intrascrotal tumors. Adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis is the most common epididymal tumor. It is difficult to distinguish intra- versus paratesticular tumors and to know the nature of the lesion (benign versus malignant) on clinical examination since they may have similar presentation; therefore, ultrasound examination of these lesions is required to demonstrate its extratesticular location and also to suggest its benign nature. Elastography can further help in characterizing the lesion by evaluating the stiffness of the tumor. Here, we present a case of adenomatoid tumor of the left epididymis with tubular ectasia of the rete testis.

Epididymal Adenomatoid Tumor: A Very Rare Paratesticular Tumor of Childhood

Adenomatoid tumor is an uncommon benign mesothelial neoplasm, usually localized in the epididymis. It is the most common paratesticular tumor of middle-aged patients (average age of clinical presentation: 36 years). However, these tumors in pediatric and pubertal patients are extremely rare. Due to their rarity, we present a case of adenomatoid tumor of the tail of the epididymis in a 16-year-old patient. After systematic research of the current literature, we did not find another case report of epididymal adenomatoid tumor in a male patient aged 16 years old or less. This notice and our concern, as well, about the patient's surveillance protocol during the postoperative period were the motive for this case study.
