[Testicular infarction as a cause of benign intrascrotal tumor]. / Infarto testicular como causa de tumoración benigna intraescrotal.

OBJECTIVES: We report on a patient with an increase in testicular size that had been initially diagnosed as neoplasm. METHODS: The ultrasound and histological findings, the atypical clinical features and possible causes are analyzed. RESULTS: Segmental infarction with diffuse testicular atrophy. CONCLUSION: Infarction of testis may atypically present as a testicular mass that may lead us to suspect a testicular neoplasm since the age of presentation of both types of lesions are similar.
