  • * A young man was found to have a right scrotal mass initially thought to be a solitary fibrous tumor but was later identified as a benign fibrous pseudotumor after thorough examination.
  • * This case underscores the need for detailed diagnostic methods, like advanced imaging and intraoperative evaluations, to prevent unnecessary surgeries and ensure correct treatment of these benign conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare type of cancer, primarily found in genitourinary tissues, commonly linked to the SS18::SSX gene fusion, and its paratesticular occurrence is extremely uncommon, with only 4 documented cases prior to this study.
  • This research details the characteristics and genetic profile of the largest cohort of paratesticular SS patients, analyzing data from 14 individuals aged 15 to 47, all of whom underwent surgical removal of the tumors and some received chemotherapy.
  • The findings indicate a generally poor prognosis for paratesticular SS even after aggressive treatment, emphasizing the need for thorough diagnostic methods to differentiate it from similar conditions, and supporting the use of SS18-SS

Scrotal cellular angiofibroma (CAF) is a rare, benign, soft-tissue paratesticular tumor that has been sporadically reported previously. We present a case of a 55-year old male with a scrotal mass ultimately diagnosed with scrotal CAF. Immunohistochemical analysis stained positively for desmin, CD34, and estrogen receptor.

Introduction: The cytology features of neoplastic paratesticular lesions are mostly documented as case reports. Thus, we conducted a case report-based literature review to identify the characteristics of paratesticular neoplasms and tried to determine the significance of FNAC in these tumors.

Methods And Materials: The studies were searched using PubMed and Scopus.

Mammary-type myofibroblastomas (MFBs) are benign spindle cell tumors, typically presenting in common locations such as the breast, abdomen, and inguinal region. We present a case of a 66-year-old male with a four-year history of painless scrotal swelling. The preoperative diagnosis was challenging, with an initial suspicion of soft tissue sarcoma.
