Dr. Prem Kalagi | Dr. Purushotham Reddy [2] | Dr. M R Dodamani
Abstract: Paratesticular tumors are rare and comprise of 7 - 10% intrascrotal tumors. Inflammatory myofibrobalstic tumour (IMT) mainly reported in thoracic cavity and also in extrapulmonary sites. We reported a 57 year old male patient presented with scrotal mass and pain with 10 - month duration. Ultrasonography revealed well defined heteroechoic mass in left scrotal region with internal vascularity noted and few enlarged left inguinal lymph nodes noted. Histology showed features of benign spindle cell tumour. On immunohistochemistry the tumor cells were positive for vimentin and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). To our knowledge, no recurrence has been reported after complete excision of paratesticular IMT; however, continued follow - up is recommended.
