Case Reports
[A case report of eosinophilic funiculitis difficult to distinguish from incarceration of inguinal hernia].
A 45-year-old man visited our emergency room with left inguinal pain, mass and high-grade fever. Emergency surgery was performed with a primary diagnosis of left inguinal hernia. Although there was no hernia, there was a mass involving the spermatic cord in the left inguinal canal. ⋯ Pathological findings showed eosinophilic infiltration in the mass lesion. An allergic inflammation was suspected to have occurred in the spermatic cord. His postoperative course was good.
