[Paratesticular lipoma].

Among the neoplasias affecting the scrotum and other elements contained within, testicular tumours are the most common; paratesticular neoplasias account for about 2%. 70% of them are benign tumours, lipoma being one the most frequent types. We contribute a new case of paratesticular lipoma in a 45-year old patient, who presented with scrotal complaints. Physical examination found fibroelastic scrotal tumoration; diagnosis being aided with ultrasound and CAT that showed fat tissue radiographic patterns. Complete removal of tumoration and subsequent pathoanatomical study confirmed the diagnosis of paratesticular lipoma. A literature review on the subject is included with reflections on the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutical aspects.
