Abstract :
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) more commonly arise in the pleura but recently,
they have been reported in several extrapleural organs. Urogenital localization is
rare, and only small numbers of cases of paratesticular SFT have been reported.
An 81-year-old male with a history of colon carcinoma and complaint of testis
swelling was referred for evaluation of a right paratesticular mass. Physical
examination revealed a 2 cm oval-shaped paratesticular mass and herniation of
intestinal loops in the right inguinal region after cough and Valsalva maneuver.
An ultrasound examination was found in the upper pole of testis a well-defined
hypoechoic mass in favor of testicular mass. It also revealed moderate to severe
bilateral hydrocele and calcified wall in favor of benign lesion. In conclusion,
SFT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of paratesticular masses
and needs to be confirmed by IHC. CD34 and CD99 biomarkers are useful for
confirmation of SFT.
