“…Testicular schistosomiasis is extremely rare, with only 12 cases reported (9). Testicular schistosomiasis caused by S. mansoni presented as a unilateral testicular swelling in seven cases, infertility in two cases, and a nodule in two cases (8,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15).…”

“…Clinically, testicular schistosomiasis caused by S. mansoni presented as an unilateral testicular swelling in seven cases [3,[5][6][7][8][9][10], infertility in two cases [9,11] and a nodule (in the right testis) in two cases [2,12]. Swelling was on the right side in three cases [3,5,8] and on the left in four reports [6,7,9,10].…”

“…In five cases, an unnecessary orchiectomy was performed [3,[5][6][7]10]. In our case, knowing that the patient was from an endemic area and since clinical-radiological data was compatible with schistosomiasis, testicle preservation was decided.…”

Testicular schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma mansoni: a case report from Brazil

2007

Testicular schistosomiasis by Schistosoma mansoni is exceedingly rare, with only 11 cases reported in PubMed. We report a new case from Brazil. A 31-year-old man from the northeast region of the country presented with a 2 cm nodule in the right testis. Ultrasonography showed a well-delimited hypoechoic tumor, suggestive of a granulomatous lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an irregular tunica albuginea signal. A biopsy showed interstitial tissue with schistosome ova and granuloma formation. The nodule was excised, and the patient was treated with oxamniquine. He has remained symptom free for 10 years. A testicular nodule should raise suspicion of numerous pathologies, including schistosomiasis. Treatment should include therapy with oxamniquine or praziquantel, and nodule excision should be done whenever possible.

“… Specific infectious inflammatory lesions. The entities of this group that most often have been confused with neoplasias are granulomatous inflammation in tuberculosis [ 87 ], brucellosis [ 49 ], syphillis [ 5 ], fungal infections [ 42 ], and parasite diseases [ 9 ]. These lesions are usually not problematic for the pathologist.…”

Pseudoneoplastic lesions of the testis and paratesticular structures

Pseudotumors or tumor-like proliferations (nonneoplastic masses) and benign mimickers (non-neoplastic cellular proliferations) are rare in the testis and paratesticular structures. Clinically, these lesions (cysts, ectopic tissues, and vascular, inflammatory, or hyperplastic lesions) are of great interest for the reason that, because of the topography, they may be relevant as differential diagnoses. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the pseudoneoplasic entities arising in the testis and paratesticular structures; emphasis is placed on how the practicing pathologist may distinguish benign mimickers and pseudotumors from true neoplasia. These lesions can be classified as macroscopic or microscopic mimickers of neoplasia.
