Adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis is unfrequent, benign, with no malignant outcomes described. We report five cases, with patient's ages varying from 31 to 76 years, and tumor sizes from 6 to 30 mm. All patients underwent surgery with excision of the mass, some of them after several months of growing. In one of the cases the evolution reached six years. None of the cases presented recurrence or bad outcome after surgery. Pathology confirmed the benign adenomatoid character in all cases. Despite the clinical, ultrasound and physical examination findings suggest the localization in the epididymis and its benign character, surgical exploration is mandatory with surgical excision of the paratesticular mass.
