A 28-year-old male was referred by his local general practitioner due to recurrence of painful right scrotal mass, first noted 8 years prior. The mass was further characterised with ultrasound and then was locally excised via an inguinal approach, sparing the testicle, without any postoperative complication. Immunoperoxidase staining of the excised lesion confirmed paratesticular IgG4-related disease.

Background: Paratesticular fibrous pseudotumor (PFP) is a rare intrascrotal benign fibrous mass of uncertain aetiology, usually arising between testicular tunica layers and is supposed to be related to inflammatory reactive conditions. Because of morphological similarities to IgG4-related sclerosing fibro-inflammatory lesions, some authors recently postulated that PFP might belong to the IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) family. Considering the rarity of this lesion, only few cases have been reported in literature about the correlation between IgG4-RD and PFP.

PFP with IgG-4 immunostaining is a rare paratesticular tumour. Pre-operative ultrasound scan and MRI usually confirm the benign nature of the paratesticular mass avoiding the need for radical orchiectomy. The final diagnosis is based on histology of the removed paratesticular tumour.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIgG4 related disease is a term used to describe a fibroinflammatory condition characterized by storiform fibrosis, inflammation with a dense lymphoplasmocytic infiltrate rich in plasma cells expressing IgG4, and often, if not always, raised serum levels of IgG4. We report a case of a patient with a past history of retroperitoneal fibrosis presenting with a swollen left testicle, who underwent an orchidectomy due to suspicion of malignancy. The surgical specimen revealed a paratesticular pseudotumor with histopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of IgG4 related disease.
