Rare case of paratesticular solitary fibrous tumour (lipomatous hemangiopericytoma).

A 26-year-old male presented with an asymptomatic 6-cm left paratesticular mass. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed this mass as extratesticular, likely a tumour arising from the left spermatic cord. The mass demonstrated marked avid enhancement on post-contrast images, suggestive of a spermatic cord sarcoma. A left inguinal exploration was performed and gross examination of the mass revealed a well-circumscribed tumour with a discrete capsule separating it from the ipsilateral spermatic cord. The mass was resected without performing an orchiectomy and histology demonstrated a solitary fibrous tumour (lipomatous hemangiopericytoma), with minimal proliferative activity and negative margins. The occurrence of a paratesticular solitary fibrous tumour is exceedingly rare, with only a handful of case reports. We review the literature regarding this rare entity and discuss its diagnosis and management.
