چکیده
Carcinoid tumours occur predominantly in the gastrointestinal tract and bronchial system of the lungs, but they can originate in less common anatomical sites such as the testes, which accounts for <1% of all testicular neoplasms.

We report on a man with metastatic right testicular carcinoid tumour who had multiple liver and bone metastases. The radiological and clinicopathological features of carcinoid tumours are also reviewed.
