A Rare Case of Benign Angiomyxofibroma of the Spermatic Cord
Abstract
Benign angiomyxofibroma is rare neoplasm that arises in the paratesticular region that is confused with inguinal or scrotal hernia. We present a case of benign angiomyxofibroma of the spermatic cord and discuss the clinical, imaging, and histological findings as well as the differential diagnosis, with a brief review of the current literature on this topic.
