Abstract
This case report outlines an unusual presentation of a cholesterol granuloma in the testis, an uncommon site of such a pathology. A male in his fifties, with chronic left groin swelling, was initially suspected to have a pyocele or scrotal abscess based on preliminary investigations. The swelling's longstanding nature and ultrasonography findings led to orchidectomy, with a significant evacuation of pus. However, histopathological examination revealed testicular cholesterol granuloma characterized by distinct features. This case emphasizes the significance of a comprehensive differential diagnosis for enduring swellings and emphasizes the pivotal role of histopathological examination in confirming rare presentations.
