Paratesticular Cellular Angiofibroma (CAF): A Rare Case Report

Cellular angiofibromas (CAFs) are infrequent and benign soft -tissue tumors that primarily affect the genitourinary region in both genders. The authors report the case of a 71 -year -old male patient who exhibited progressively increasing swelling in both testicles, with greater prominence noted on the left side. Initial findings from physical examination and scrotal ultrasound indicated the possibility of bilateral hydrocele, so the patient was recommended surgical intervention of the left more prominent side. Intraoperatively, a left paratesticular mass was identified and subsequently excised. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of cellular angiofibroma. Surgeons should be cognizant of this tumor type to optimize treatment strategies, as local excision demonstrates a potential to preserve the testicle and yield favorable outcomes. Although occurrences of local recurrence are extremely rare, long-term follow-up is imperative.
