“…carcinoid heart disease, and metastatic patterns such as skin and skeletal metastases, have been discovered. These complications were described in two more recent cases of testicular carcinoid [29,32]. One case report mentioned a metastasis to the heart [32] and autopsy showed nests of tumour cells in the endocardium.…”

“…These complications were described in two more recent cases of testicular carcinoid [29,32]. One case report mentioned a metastasis to the heart [32] and autopsy showed nests of tumour cells in the endocardium. Besides valvular fibrotic lesions and pericardial effusion, this is one of the manifestations of carcinoid heart disease [54].…”

“…Metastases were described in seven of the 44 cases in group 1 [8,9,15,28,29,32]. The sites of these metastases were liver in two and one each in the lung, cervical and thoracic vertebrae, and the abdominal wall; one patient developed metastases in the heart, lung and skin, and another developed them in the contralateral testicle and lymph nodes.…”

OBJECTIVETo review previous reports of carcinoid (an endocrine tumour mostly of the gastrointestinal tract) tumours of the testis.METHODSCarcinoid tumours of the testis are rare and can be divided into primary carcinoid (group 1), testicular metastasis from another location (group 2) and carcinoid within a testicular teratoma (group 3). A case of testicular carcinoid within our clinic prompted us to review previous reports; all the cases found were assessed for patient and tumour characteristics, diagnostic tools used, treatment and prognosis.RESULTSIn all, 62 cases were assessed and divided into groups 1 (44 patients), 2 (six) and 3 (12), respectively. Seven patients in group 1 developed metastases. A wide variety of diagnostic tools was used to search for other tumour sites. All patients were treated with orchidectomy. Three patients with a primary carcinoid were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy (two) or radiotherapy (one), with unknown results. All but one of the nine patients who died were known to have metastasis, either from a primary testicular carcinoid or testicular metastases from an intestinal carcinoid.CONCLUSIONWhen a testicular carcinoid tumour is discovered, other tumour sites should be excluded. The most useful diagnostic tools for this purpose seem to be urinary 5‐hydroxyindoleacetic acid measurement, somatostatin receptor scintigraphy, computed tomography and video‐capsule endoscopy. Localized testicular carcinoid tumours have an excellent prognosis after orchidectomy.

The first case of testicular carcinoid was represented as an element of a benign cystic teratoma by Simon et al. J Urol 1954; 72: 892-894. It is a rare disease accounting for less than 1% of all testicular neoplasms. We report a case of carcinoid of the testis without carcinoid syndrome and metastasis but with testosterone deficiency based on a bilateral testicular atrophy, which has not been previously reported.
