Abstract

Neurofibroma is a benign tumor of the nerve sheath,which is considered to originate from the Schwann cells.Since neural tissues are found throughout the body these tumors can occur in a variety of sites.Intrascrotal extratesticular localization of neurofibromas have been reported extremely rarely in the literature (2).A 77-year-old man admitted to our rural hospital with a twelve year history of gradually enlarging mass and scrotal discomfort in the right hemiscrotum.With a preoperative diagnosis of testicular or paratesticular tumor,exploration done and sent for HPE.The pathological diagnosis of the lesion was Neurofibroma of the paratesticular region.Although a relatively rare disease,intrascrotal extratesticular neurofibroma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of testicular and paratesticular malignant tumors.
