Rete testis adenomatous hyperplasia

چکیده
The word “adenomatous hyperplasia of rete testis” (AHRT) was used by M. Nistal et Al. for the first time in an article about the cystic dysplasia of the testis (1976). AHRT is a benign lesion of the testis. The patient who came to our attention was studied with a testicular echo color Doppler that identified a solid, well circumscribed and hypoechoic mass of 4.5 x3.8mm as diameter, localized in the upper third of the right testicle and with a perilesional vascularization pattern. The preoperative study was based on an accurate medical history, on an ultrasound with contrast and on a RMI. The treatment consisted in an echo guided excisional biopsy of the testicular lesion, considering this as the best approach for those testicular neoformation difficult to define, with a lot of benefits for the patients, especially for those monorchid.

Adenomatous hyperplasia of the rete ovarii was found in a 9-month-old beagle. At necropsy, no abnormalities were observed in the ovaries. Microscopically, there was a proliferation of gland-like tubules in the hilus of the left ovary. The tubules were lined by a single layer of columnar and cuboidal epithelial cells. In places the tubules appeared to radiate from small ductal structures. The le...
متن کاملLesions of testis and epididymis associated with prenatal diethylstilbestrol exposure.
Cryptorchidism and retention of Müllerian duct structures occur with high frequency among the male offspring of CD-1 mice treated with 100 micrograms diethylstilbestrol/kg body weight on days 9 through 16 of pregnancy. Hyperplasia of the rete testis and Müllerian duct structures were found in many of the DES-treated male mice, as was a low but significant number of reproductive tract neoplasms.
