High-grade metastatic paratesticular cystadenocarcinoma

چکیده
Paratesticular cystadenocarcinoma is a rare form of ovarian epithelial tumor, with less than forty cases reported to date.1 Clinical presentation is scrotal enlargement with no significant pain.2 Ultrasound often shows a hypoechoic vascularized mass, with variable amounts of hydrocele. CT and MRI are not able to differentiate this tumor from other differential diagnosis. When normal values of human chorionic gonadotropin and alphafetoprotein are seen associated with a high value of serum CA125, this disorder should be suspected and confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHQ).1 Herein we report a case of metastatic presentation of a paratesticular cystadenocarcinoma.
