Multifocal fibrous pseudotumor of testicular tunics. Possible clinical dilemma.

ABSTRACT

A morphologic characterization of a tunical multifocal fibrous pseudotumor is presented because of the clinical dilemma this rare entity causes urologists and pathologists. This report demonstrates the necessity for familiarity with testicular pseudotumors in order to avoid an unnecessary orchiectomy. If histopathologic examination of biopsies from every pseudotumor nodule fails to demonstrate malignancy, excision of the entire tunics including the pseudotumors is appropriate therapy.
