Sonographic Features of an Adult Granulosa Cell Tumor of the Testis
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 25-year-old man presented with epididymoorchitis. Sonography revealed a 5 mm hypoechoic lesion with scattered foci of high level echoes and an area of calcification in the upper pole of the left testicle close to the hilum. Growth and pronounced neovascularity was demonstrated a subsequent scan. An orchidectomy was performed and histological studies revealed a granulosa cell tumour of the testicle. Testicular granulosa cell tumors are extremely rare. Comparing the previously published findings to our case, we suggest that common sonographic features of testicular granulosa cell tumors include a hypoechoegenic lesion with hyperechoic and calcified foci, sharply defined edge, and internal vascularity.

Testicular granulosa cell tumors are extremely rare in adults. We report a case of a testicular germ cell tumor (GCT) in a 21-year-old man. The tumor was treated successfully with radical orchiectomy, and follow-up computed tomography revealed no evidence of recurrence or metastasis 10 months postoperatively. The clinical and histopathological features, treatment, and prognosis of testicular GC...

Granulosa cell tumor of the testis is an infrequent stromal cell tumor that can be distinguished into adult and juvenile, the latter being more common. Juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the testis is a rare pathologic finding, accounting for 1.2%-3.9% of prepubertal testicular tumors. It is considered as a benign stromal sex cord tumor and is usually unilateral. Although radical surgery was prev...
متن کاملAdult type granulosa cell tumor in adult testis: report of a case and review of the literature
Granulosa cell tumors can be classified into juvenile and adult types and more commonly occur in ovaries. Adult testicular granulosa cell tumors are extremely rare and only 29 cases of adult type have previously been reported. We report here a 28-year old Caucasian man with a left testicular adult type granulosa cell tumor. The tumor measured 2.6×2.6×2.5 cm and was mitotically active (10/10 HPF...
