Nekula M, Babjuk M, Chmelová R, Čechová M. A rare case of eosinophilic funiculitis. We report a case of a 28 year old patient examined for a 3 week history of palpable mass originating from his left spermatic cord. Due to unclear etiology we recommended surgical resection. Histopatological examination revealed an uncommon diagnosis of eosinophilic funiculitis. Eosinophilic funiculitis represents a benign condition of unknown etiology. To date only three cases have been descibed.
Keywords: Spermatic cord, tumour, eosinophilic funiculitis.
