Solinas A, Farci R, Bianco P, Onnis D. A case report of a testicular spermatocytic tumor in an 89-year-old patient. J Case Rep Images Urol 2025;10(2):29–32.ABSTRACT
Spermatocytic tumor is a very rare clinical entity representing 1% of testicular tumors affecting elderly males with a men age of 52–59 years. It lacks features associated with tumors derived from germ-cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS) including cryptorchidism and racial or ethnic predisposition. We present the case of an 89-year-old man with spermatocytic tumor admitted in the unit of urology with right-sided testicular swelling. In this paper we discuss the histopathology and ultrasound features of this testicular tumor.
Keywords: Germ cell tumors, Spermatocytic tumor, Testis
