Abstract: Glomus tumor in the genital area is extremely rare, with an extensive review in the medical literature revealing only 2 cases arising from testicle. They can be easily mistaken, both clinically and radiologically, for primary testicular tumors, even for skin neoplasms. This report presents a case of 37-year-old man who presented with a painful left scrotum which diagnosed as varicocele and incidentally found of right testicular tumor. Ultrasound showed a well-defined totally entophytic painless testicular tumor. The excised mass was diagnosed as a benign glomus tumor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third case of testicular glomus tumor described in the literature. Furthermore, essential guidelines necessary to distinguish glomus tumor from other lesions in the scrotum are discussed. The literatures were reviewed.
