Article Abstract
Fibrothecal tumors belong to sex cord/stromal tumors (SCSTS). They represent 1 to 4.7 % of the organics tumors of ovary (Chechia et al., 2008) but are extremely rare in the testis, with only a few cases described in the literature. We report a new case of a fibrothecoma in the testis in an adult. The extemporaneous diagnosis was made in the same time of the surgical intervention. The castration has been avoided.
