Paratesticular Tumours

Patient with Proteus syndrome and paratesticular ovarian‐type papillary serous carcinoma

“…4 These are mostly serous or mucinous borderline tumors occurring in middle-aged men. [4][5][6] Malignant serous carcinomas are exceedingly rare. Computerized tomography (CT) of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis was negative for metastatic disease.…”

“…Paratesticular OTETs are homologous to their ovarian counterparts . These are mostly serous or mucinous borderline tumors occurring in middle‐aged men . Malignant serous carcinomas are exceedingly rare.…”

“…The most common testicular and paratesticular tumors are germ cell tumors and rhabdomyosarcomas, respectively. Ultrasound is 95–100% sensitive in differentiating extratesticular from intratesticular involvement and is generally the first imaging modality used . CT of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis is done in search of a potential primary lesion, the presence of retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, or distant metastasis.…”

“…CT of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis is done in search of a potential primary lesion, the presence of retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, or distant metastasis. Measurement of serum AFP (yolk sac tumors), HCG (germ cell tumors), LDH (lymphopoetic lesions), and CA‐125 (ovarian epithelial tumors) is helpful …”

“…There are no dedicated management guidelines for OTETs of the paratestis. Initial management is by complete surgical excision with radical inguinal high orchiectomy, and the role of adjuvant therapy is unclear . Localized disease is unlikely to recur, although late recurrences have been reported …”
