A Rare Case of Benign Angiomyxofibroma of the Spermatic Cord

Vijayakumar A .

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.
