Özet

Almost all solid scrotal masses are malignant tumors. Among these, tumors originating from mesothelium, are usually benign. Adenomatoid tumors constitute the majority of the solid tumors with mesothelial origin. Although adenomatoid tumor can be seen at all ages, it is mostly common in the third and fifth decades. These tumors, which are treated surgically, may pose some diagnostic difficulties.
