Benign perineal pseudotumor from repetitive microtrauma associated with saddle sports: a report and guidelines for management
- Abstract:
- Benign Perineal Pseudotumors (BPPs) can result from repetitive microtrauma in saddle sports. Also known as a ‘cyclist’s nodule’, ‘perineal nodular induration’ or ‘third testicle’, this fibrous soft tissue mass may be referred to a number of different medical specialists for investigation and management. Soft tissue sarcomas and other malignant or benign aggressive neoplasia, albeit rare, can affect the perineal region mimicking BPP and should be excluded. MRI, needle biopsy (ideally with radiological guidance), and referral to a specialist Sarcoma Unit is indicated to ensure the safe management of this condition. For confirmed cases of BPP, management may include conservative or operative options, considering the important anatomical structures in this area and the requirement for plastic reconstructive techniques in some instances.
