Abstract

Fibrous pseudotumors are a rare type of benign paratesticular mass that normally present to patients in their 30s secondary to local trauma. Here, we describe an 8-year-old male patient that presented with several right testicular masses following an injury 2 years prior. The masses were successfully resected in a testicle-sparing operation. This report describes the unique finding of a reactive fibroinflammatory mass in a pediatric patient, and also highlights the uncertainty of pseudotumor diagnostic criteria that need to be recognized in order to avoid unnecessary orchiectomy.
