A lesion which was an incidental finding in a paratesticular location is presented. Histologically it resembles a Brenner tumor. Histogenesis of this tumor is discussed in view of its unusual location and in view of the multiple theories offered in the literature. For working hypothesis, the Wolffian‐mesonephric duct remnants (appendage of epididymis) are accepted for its histogenesis, paralleling the theory of Berge and Borglin for Brenner tumors occurring in women.
