Streszczenie
Cellular angiofibroma is a rare and benign tumour of mesenchymal origin. Within a microscopic image, two main cell populations are typically observed: spindle-shaped cells and blood vessels; both of which are sometimes accompanied by atypical liposarcoma-like cells.
We present a case of a 31-year old male admitted to the Department of Urology because of a solid mass being present in the left testis. The patient underwent radical orchidectomy through the inguinal canal. Microscopic examination demonstrated an intratesticular cellular angiofibroma. During a two-year follow-up, there were no signs observed of any metastases nor disease recurrence.
Intratesticular localisation of cellular angiofibroma has never been previously reported. Benign tumours of the testis are rare, but an awareness of this phenomenon may reduce the number of unnecessary orchidectomies, thereby increasing the rate of organ-sparing surgery.
