Is the incidence of orchidoma in the elderly on the rise? The subject is discussed apropos of two cases. The data relative to the frequency and incidence of orchidoma in the elderly is discussed and The New York Memorial Series of Dean and Dean, the series of The Institute of Urology of London of Collins and Pugh as well as the series of the VAMC, Phoenix are reviewed, and the differences are studied statistically and arithmetically. It is concluded that the incidence of orchidoma in the elderly seems to be on the rise; it is compelling and obligatory that this fact retain our attention in the differential diagnosis of scrotal masses in the elderly.
