Sclerosing lipogranuloma of the testis

Urology. 2002 Sep;60(3):515. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(02)01763-6.

Abstract

Sclerosing lipogranuloma is an uncommon, benign condition that can affect several organs, particularly of the genitourinary system in males. We describe a patient who presented with an intratesticular mass on physical examination. Pathologic evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of testicular sclerosing lipogranuloma. Most case reports involve self-injection with a foreign substance that is pathognomonic. Treatment is often conservative after establishing the diagnosis.
