Calcified spermatocele simulating a neoplasm

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of a spermatocele mimicking a paratesticular neoplasm.

METHODS: A 58-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of paratesticular swelling; a firm mass was detected on physical examination. The ultrasound study showed a paratesticular mass with hyperechoic and hypoechoic areas and calcifications, mimicking a neoplasm. Orchidectomy was performed.

RESULTS: The anatomopathological study showed a paratesticular spermatocele with calcification.

CONCLUSION: The spermatocele can mimick a paratesticular neoplasm.
