Abstract:
Neurofibromas are benign tumors of the peripheral nerve sheath originated from mesenchymal tissue and can occur throughout the body, but rarely in the testis. The preferred imaging method is ultrasound. The contrast-enhanced ultrasound can assist in showing the lesions. The characteristic pathological changes are positive of S100 and SOX10 with immunohistochemical staining. It is recommended to choose organ-sparing surgery because of the good prognosis.
