ABSTRACT

Paratesticular tumors are rare in children and are diagnosed by chance on echography of an acute scrotum or a trauma. It should be excised by the inguinal route to prevent any possibility of malignancy. Here are two cases of paratesticular tumors which were randomly found. The final histopathological diagnosis confirmed that they were intrascrotal lipomas.
