Abstract
Adenomatoid tumor is extremely rare benign neoplasm occurring in the genital tract. They are mesothelial origin tumors and frequently found in the testis, epididymis, tunica vaginalis, or spermatic cord in male. But most adenomatoid tumors are found near or in epididymis. While in female they are usually located in the fallopian tube, uterus, and ovary.
Adenomatoid tumors are usually small, firm or solid, and asymptomatic, these are clinically found or routine physical examination. They are usually less than 2cm in diameter, but may measure up to 5cm, Histologically the tumor consists of tubules and gland like spaces lined with cuboidal or flattened in a fibrous stroma.
The tumor was first described and adenomyoma by Sakaguchi in 1915. Since that time there have been numerous case reports of similar tumors. But the term, adenomatoid tumor, introduced by Golde and Ash in 1945 seems to have been even more widely used.
Recently we experienced a case of adenomatoid tumor of epididymis, which was found incidentally during physical examination and confirmed by excisional biopsy in a patient who complained lower abdominal pain.
