Adenomatous tumor of the epididymis: A case report

Résumé

Nous rapportons de premier cas de tumeur adénomatoïde de l’épididyme diagnostiqué au Sénégal. Un homme de 41 ans nous a été adressé pour de vives douleurs scrotales chroniques. L’examen du contenu scrotal a retrouvé une masse aux dépens de l’épididymectomie. L’examen histologique avec étude immuno-histochimique a permis de confirmer le diagnostic.

Les tumeurs de l’épididyme étant habituellement bénignes, un traitement conservateur est recommandé.

Abstract

We report the first case of adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis diagnosed in Senegal. A 41-years old man was referred to us for severe scrotal pain in the left side. Physical examination discovered a left scrotal mass. An epididymectomy was perfomed. Histological analysis of the surgical specimen with immunohistochemical staining confirmed an adenomatoid tumor.

Tumors of the epididymis are frequently benign, therefore a conservative approach is recommended.
