Abstract
Little has appeared in the literature on tumors of the scrotum proper, owing to the fact that they are very uncommon. Many authors who have reported on tumors of the scrotum have included tumors of the testicle proper, the testicular tunics and the epididymis and neoplasms originating from the spermatic cord. The most common types of tumor usually found in the scrotum proper are angiomas, lipomas, epitheliomas and cysts. A search of the literature for the past thirty years reveals no cases of pure fibroma of the scrotum proper, and it is because of the rarity of this type of tumor that this case is briefly presented. Recent standard textbooks do not give any information on scrotal fibromas, and the earlier published textbooks dismiss the subject with simple statements that fibromas of the scrotum are of infrequent occurrence. Those earlier cases referred to as "fibromas" undoubtedly would not be so
