Abstract
Our 10-year experience with non-testicular intrascrotal tumors has been combined with an extensive survey of the literature. The over-all incidence of malignancy affecting intrascrotal structures is high: 1) 25 per cent of epididymal neoplasms are malignant, 2) excluding cord lipomas, 56 per cent of cord tumors are malignant and 3) 59 per cent of scrotal tunic neoplasms are of malignant origin. Because of the high incidence of malignancy and because tumors of these structures are often misdiagnosed, a clinical approach to the diagnosis and management of non-testicular intrascrotal masses is presented.Keywords
