Abstract Three months following a right sided acute epididymitis a 62 year old patient presented with a painless right testicular swelling. Physical examination scrotal ultrasound and operative exploration suggested malignancy. However after inguinal orchiectomy a benign pseudolymphoma of the testis was revealed by pathological examination. A pseudolymphoma is a rare benign lesion which can only be distinguished from a malignant lymphoma by immuno-histochemistry and molecular-genetical investigation techniques. Background Testicular cancer presents in 5 of all urological tumours with 3 to 6 new cases occurring per 100000 per year 1 . Testicular germ cell tumours have a peak incidence in the 3rd and 4th decade
