[Adenomatoid tumor of testicular tunica albuginea: a case report. Histogenetic and therapeutic considerations].

OBJECTIVE

To describe a rare case of adenomatoid tumor of the testicular tunica albuginea and to discuss the clinical, histogenetic and therapeutic aspects.

RESULTS

A rare case of adenomatoid tumor of the testicular tunica albuginea is presented. The clinical, histogenetic and therapeutic aspects are discussed.

CONCLUSIONS

Adenomatoid tumors of the testicular tunica albuginea are rare and are therefore rarely considered. Although 99% of testicular tumors are malignant, it must be emphasized that there are benign testicular tumors, such as adenomatoid tumor, that initially do not require aggressive surgical treatment but intraoperative biopsy and tumor resection.
