Abstract
Although most testicular masses are malignant [in humans], 7 cases are presented to demonstrate that benign lesions of the tunica albuginea do occur and that these may be a source of diagnostic confusion. Consideration should be given to the possibility of a benign lesion of the tunica albuginea when the lesion is small, discrete, painless and projecting above the surface of the tunica albuginea. All patients were referred to us with a tentative diagnosis of testicular malignancy. The importance of vigilance concerning testicular masses is discussed but the cases presented herein demonstrated that all masses of the testis are not malignant.
