The authors are hereby presenting a rare case of angiomyofibroblastoma of the funiculus in a 20-year-old patient, having a non-aching tumefaction at the left region of the scrotum.
This tumefaction was solid and non homogeneous, both on ultrasonography and MRI, of about 5cm in diameter, fully separated from the testicle. The markers were all negative. We proceeded with surgical treatment of the neoformation. It is mandatory to include this lesion within the differential diagnosis of testicle masses. The case is presented for its absolute histopathologic rarity and for the difficulty in diagnosis.
