Özet
Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare, locally aggressive, deep-localized connective tissue neoplasia that develops in musculoaponeurotic tissues with a high recurrence rate. DF is non-metastatic, locally aggressive, fibroblastic/myofibroblastic neoplasm. The tumor often arises in the extremities, abdominal wall and mesentery. Spermatic cord-located DF is extremely rare and has been reported in only a few case reports. Here, we present the clinical, radiological, histological and genetic characteristics of a 28-year-old male patient who was admitted to the hospital with the complaint of swelling in the left testis and was diagnosed with paratesticular DF after surgery.
