Abstract
- Adenomatoid tumor is the most common paratesticular tumor with an anatomic distribution limited to the epididymis and it rarely invades to the tunica vaginalis, spermatic cord and ejaculatory duct. Adenomatoid tumor is a benign neoplasm that is thought to be of a mesothelial origin. The treatment of choice for adenomatoid tumor is local excision because of its benign nature and the absence of distant metastasis. We report here on a rare case of adenomatoid tumor that was found between the epididymis and the testis, and it was treated by local excision of tumor.
