Fibrous Pseudotumor of the Tunica Vaginalis of the Scrotum: Is there a Typical Ultrasound Pattern?

Introduction

The fibrous pseudotumor of the scrotum is a relatively rare benign condition that clinically often mimics malignancy. Consequently, the diagnosis is usually performed only after orchidectomy.

Our goal was to determine if there are any US features which are indicative of benignity in order to avoid excision of the testis based on these 3 cases.
