Incidental finding of probable epididymal adenomatoid tumor and tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma in a patient with epididymo-orchitis: a case report
Tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma might be the result of progression from Bosniak type 2 renal cysts. They are best treated by a nephron-sparing surgical approach. Physical examination and testicular ultrasound are important tools in the diagnosis of scrotal and epididymal tumors. The benignity of adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis is reassuring and is a reason why it may usually be underreported.
