Background: Fibrous pseudotumours of the testicular and paratesticular tissues are fibroinflammatory reactive lesions that can clinically mimic neoplasms. Very little is known about the role of frozen section analysis (FSA) for these lesions in terms of intraoperative surgical management.
Methods: We recently experienced 5 patients with testicular/paratesticular fibrous pseudotumours in whom frozen sections were used to demonstrate its non-neoplastic nature prior to the decision for radical surgery.
Results: In 2 cases, FSA resulted in testicular-sparing surgery. In contrast, the remaining 3 cases ultimately underwent radical orchiectomy, due to questionable viability of the testicle involved by inflammatory/infiltrative lesions and in 1 case a slight possibility of lymphoproliferative malignancy.
Conclusion: Urologists should be aware of this entity and its gross features, such as firm masses and diffuse fibrous proliferation encasing the testicle to help determine intraoperative management. In select cases, intraoperative FSA is helpful in obviating radical orchiectomy.

A reactive nodular fibrous pseudotumor (RNFP) is a rare benign tumor that is related to previous abdominal surgery, injury, or inflammation, and in patients with a history of malignancy; it is easily misdiagnosed as tumor recurrence or metastasis. We discuss the case of an 80-year-old patient who presented to the emergency department with a large non-reducible inguinal hernia. The patient was taken to the operating room for an open hernia repair through an inguinal incision.
