Testicular carcinoid tumours (TCT) account for less than 1% of all testicular neoplasms. A 17-year-old male underwent radical orchiectomy for a painful indurated and increased in size right testicle; a mixed echogenic mass, with a central homogeneous area surrounded by a hypoechoic edge with calcifications was found at ultreasound with increased vascularity at color Doppler examination. Biochem...

Introduction and objectives: Testicular cancer represents approximately 1-1.5% of all forms of male cancer and 5% of urogenital neoplasia. The relative risk of developing testicular cancer on an intraabdominal testis is 2.75 – 8 times higher. The aim of this paper is to present the therapeutic strategy in a rare case of a testicular tumor developed on a secondary intraabdominally located testis...

Metastasis to the testis is rare. The site of primary tumor may be the lungs, the prostate or the large bowel. The clinical parameter is illustrated by a case history. The immunohistochemical method is taken into account.

Hemospermia is often considered idiopathic. We report a case of a patient who presented with hemospermia. Scrotal examination and ultrasonography found a testis tumor. This case underscores the importance of scrotal examination and eventually ultrasound in patients presenting with hemospermia.

Diffuse embryoma of the testis is a very rare, distinct form of mixed germ cell tumor. I report here on a case of diffuse embryoma in a 22-year-old male who presented with painful scrotal swelling. The resected testis was entirely occupied by a non-encapsulated tumor mass. The cut surface of the tumor was grey or whitish pink, soft and granular with foci of hemorrhage and necrosis. Microscopica...

The versatile histopathology, clinical presentation, and biologic behavior of testicular neoplasms reflect the complex composition of the male gonad. Each component can develop different tumor types; thus, there are testicular germ cell tumor (TGT), sex cord/stromal tumor, miscellaneous tumors arising from rete testis or paratesticular structures, and tumors not specific to testicular parenchym...

Testicular cancer is cancer that develops in the testicles, a part of the male reproductive system. Although testicular cancer can be derived from any cell type found in the testicles, more than 95% of testicular cancers are germ cell tumors. Most of the remaining 5% are sex cord-gonadal stromal tumors derived from Leydig cells or Sertoli cells. Over man's lifetime, his risk of testicular cance...

Patients with metastatic testis tumors are generally curable using chemotherapy, whereas those with disseminated bladder carcinomas are not. We have compared levels of the nuclear enzyme topoisomerase II in three testis (SuSa, 833K, and GH) and three bladder (RT4, RT112, and HT1376) cancer cell lines which differ in their sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents. The testis cell lines were more s...
