Abstract

The objective of this study is to report a benign mesenchymal neoplasm, cellular angiofibroma. We describe a 34-year-old male with a 4-month history of a painless right inguinal mass. CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis showed a 6.6 cm, oval-shaped mass without any distinguishing radiographical features. Surgical excision of the mass was performed. Tissue was extracted for immunohistochemical analysis, which stained positive for CD34 and Desmin, confirming cellular angiofibroma of the spermatic cord. Thus, this report highlights the importance of a challenging diagnostic case for providers due to the narrow range of imaging modalities and therefore limited treatment options.
