[Focal infarction of the testis. Report of a case simulating a gonadal mass]. / Infarto focal del testículo. A propósito de un caso que simulaba un proceso expansivo gonadal.

Series of comments on the clinical history of one patient diagnosed "a posteriori" with a focal infarction of the testis. The case was pre-operatively handled as a tumour, as a result of which the patient underwent radial orchiectomy. The only notable feature in the patient's background was a vasectomy, performed two years earlier. The rationale for this communication is the rarity of this entity and the differential diagnosis to be practised. Reference is made to some complementary diagnostic tests that may be requested. It includes a number of considerations on testis vascularization. After reviewing some studies contributed by the Spanish literature, several complications to be taken into consideration when performing a vasectomy are explained.

[Fibrous pseudotumor of the epididymis]. / Pseudotumor fibroso de epidídimo.

Presentation of one case of fibrous pseudotumor of epididymis in a 33 year-old patient. Final diagnosis was achieved after surgical exeresis and its pathoanatomical examination. Etiopathogeny, clinic presentation and therapeutical approach are reviewed. Considering, in general, the clinical inespecificity of intrascrotal processes, we believe it is important to know this entity in order to be in a position to address differential diagnosis with truly neoplastic processes.
