| Abstrakt: | Paratesticular fibrous pseudotumors are rare, benign proliferations that pose significant diagnostic challenges due to their resemblance to fibroblastic soft tissue tumors. We report a young adult male who presented with a right scrotal mass, initially considered to be a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) but ultimately diagnosed as a fibrous pseudotumor. Histopathologic examination revealed a well-circumscribed, hyalinized, hypocellular spindle cell mass with inflammatory features. Despite the marginal Signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) positivity, extensive consultation confirmed the benign nature of the mass. This case highlights the importance of meticulous diagnostic processes, including advanced imaging and intraoperative assessments, to avoid unnecessary orchiectomy. It also highlights the characteristic histologic features that differentiate these benign entities from malignant counterparts, ensuring appropriate management and a favorable prognosis.
