“…Kidney is the most frequent solid organ that AML's locate, followed by the liver [1]. Testicles are very atypical organs for AML location; to our knowledge only five testicular AML's and an intratesticular angiolipoma without the muscle cell component have been reported [2,3,4,5,8,9]. Here, we report the sixth case which is the second incidental testicular AML.…”

Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign mesenchymal tumor, that is composed of thick-walled blood vessels, smooth muscle cells and adipose tissue. They are commonly seen in kidneys, testicles are not a typical location for AML’s; many solid testicular tumors are germ cell malignancies. Here we report the sixth testicular AML case in the literature, to our knowledge. An 80-year-old male undergone bilateral orchiectomy with the diagnosis of local invasive prostate cancer, without any testicular symptoms. Pathological analysis demonstrated a tumor, involving nearly the whole left testicle, composed of muscle cells, vessels and fat tissue, diagnosed as testicular AML. In this article our case is reported and we also make a literature review about testicular AML’s.

“…3 Lane et al reported a case of testicular AML diagnosed by microscopic findings without immunohistochemical analysis. 3 The tumor in the present case was composed of enlarged blood vessels, abundant medium to large adipose cells and foci of smooth muscle elements, which is compatible with testicular AML. However, the cellular origin of testicular AML remains unknown.…”

Abstract:The majority of testicular tumors are germ cell tumors, which are the most prevalent solid malignancies in young adult males. Non-germ cell tumors of the testis are rare. Here, we report a case of testicular angiomyolipoma (AML). A 22-year-old male underwent left orchiectomy under a diagnosis of testicular tumor. Pathological analysis demonstrated that it was composed of adipose tissue and vasculature with foci of myomatous component. The tumor demonstrated neither cytological atypia nor widespread mitotic activity. In addition, the tumor cells showed intense expression of CD34 and smooth muscle actin, whereas HMB-45 was entirely negative. Although the true cellular origin and its clinical implications remain unknown, pathological and immunohistochemical studies strongly indicated benign testicular AML with a non-germ cell origin. To our knowledge, this is only the second case of a primary testicular AML in the published reports and the detailed pathological findings are first described in this report.
