“…The same applies to almost all the cases reported in the scientific literature except one with elevated AFP, 2 with elevated bHCG, and 4 with elevated LDH [ 1 , 9 ]. This suggests a low tendency for the spermatocytic tumor type to exhibit elevated tumor markers otherwise often associated with testicular cancer [ 1 , 9 , 10 , 12 , 13 , 15 ].…”

“…They often contain areas of edema, hemorrhage, and necrosis. The majority of these tumors are contained within the testis and do not breach the testicular sheath to infiltrate surrounding tissues[ 8 - 10 ]. The histomorphologic spectrum of spermatocytic tumor[ 11 ] is characterized by several points as follows: (1) At low magnification, the tumors are mainly multinodular or diffuse.…”

BACKGROUND Spermatocytic tumor is a rare, malignant neoplasm of the testes. Since the prognosis for this tumor type is favorable, accurate diagnosis and differentiation from other malignant testicular neoplasms (classic seminoma and lymphoma) are crucial. To add to the existing literature on the diagnosis of spermatocytic tumor, herein we report the detailed clinical and histopathologic findings for a case that we encountered. CASE SUMMARY A 60-year-old Chinese man presented with a solid mass in the right scrotum. The mass was surgically removed and spermatocytic tumor was diagnosed. On microscopy, the tumor cells displayed an unusual arrangement in lobules, presenting a pseudo-glandular appearance. To summarize and compare the diagnostic features of this tumor and those of the differential diagnoses, we report our case findings and those mentioned in the literature for various testicular tumors. Although imaging methods can detect masses early in development, their diagnostic capabilities are limited. Biopsy, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry are necessary for confirmatory diagnosis. CONCLUSION It is important to identify and review the key diagnostic features of spermatocytic tumor.

“…Spermatocytic tumors are the only tumors with sparse and low enhancement (with obvious necrotic areas within) among all forms of enhanced tumors and can be regarded as the characteristic manifestation of spermatocytic tumors. This manifestation of spermatocytic tumors is related to myxoid degeneration, edema, hemorrhage and necrosis [23].…”

Background: Different pathological types of testicular tumors are treated differently. For example, malignant germ cell tumors require radical orchiectomy, benign tumors only require mass enucleation and segmental infarction does not require treatment. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) can more sensitively display tumor microvessels, thereby distinguishing between benign and malignant tumors.Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 35 patients with primary testicular non-neoplastic and neoplastic confirmed by pathology in our hospital from February 2017 to February 2022. Conventional ultrasonography and CEUS of primary testicular non-neoplastic lesions and neoplastic lesions of different pathological types in adults were retrospectively analyzed and their diagnostic values were compared with the pathological results. Results: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy rates for conventional ultrasound in the diagnosis of benign testicular tumors based on "onion skin-like" echo (epidermoid cysts) and peripheral annular blood flow were 30.8%, 100.0%, 100.0%, 71.9% and 75.0%, respectively. According to CEUS without enhancement (non-neoplastic lesions and epidermoid cysts) and uniform high enhancement with fast forward and slow backward (SLCT), the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy rates for diagnosing benign testicular tumors were 100.0%, 100.0%, 100.0%, 100.0% and 100.0%, respectively. Compared with conventional ultrasound, the difference was statistically significant (P=0.004).Conclusions: CEUS could accurately distinguish between benign and malignant testicular tumors and also diagnosed specific pathological types (such as testicular focal infarction, epidermoid cysts, spermatocytic tumors, SLTC and lymphoma). Different pathological types of testicular tumors had different treatment options; thus, accurate preoperative diagnosis was of great significance and could guide the selection of appropriate treatment options.
