BACKGROUNDWe present the case report of a genital fibroepithelial polyp in male at the seventh decade of life, with long evolution of 15 years and benign course. Definitive surgical treatment was surgical excision. We have reviewed the literature and give recommendations on differential diagnosis and treatment.

Blood tests showed leukocytosis of 14,000 and C-reactive protein of 85. The urine culture was negative. Treatment was started with amoxicillin and amikacin intravenously, and patient presented good improvement.Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography scan were performed without evidence of pathology. The ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging of the scrotum revealed testicles within normality and the presence of a non-vascularized para-scrotal mass with a maximum diameter length of 20 cm [Figures 4 and 5].The patient explained that he had the scrotal tumor for 15 years and he had never consulted a doctor before for
