Abstract
Tunica vaginalis masses are a part of the paratesticular masses, which are rare. The combination of the finding of tunica vaginalis masses with haemorrhagic hydrocele fluid will make for a high index of suspicion of a mitotic lesion. Most reported cases of tunica vaginalis masses are mesotheliomas, most of which present as painless scrotal swellings with hydrocele. Our patient is a 58-year-old man who presented with a painless swelling involving the left hemiscrotum, in which the histopathological findings following surgery turned out to be chronic inflammatory tunica vaginalis masses. Chronic Inflammatory tunica vaginalis masses, even though rare, should be borne in mind when thinking of possible differential diagnosis in a patient with painless scrotal swelling.
