Paratesticular fibrous pseudotumor with histological features of IgG4-related disease: two case reports and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Paratesticular fibrous pseudotumor (PFP) is a rare intrascrotal benign fibrous mass of uncertain aetiology, usually arising between testicular tunica layers and is supposed to be related to inflammatory reactive conditions. Because of morphological similarities to IgG4-related sclerosing fibro-inflammatory lesions, some authors recently postulated that PFP might belong to the IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) family. Considering the rarity of this lesion, only few cases have been reported in literature about the correlation between IgG4-RD and PFP. Management of PFP could be extremely challenging: due to the lack of typical clinical signs and the non-specific radiological characteristics, misapprehension does occur in the majority of cases, mainly because these intrascrotal
