“…Диагностика серозной пограничной опухоли на дооперационном этапе затруднена. Для данной опухоли не характерны специфические изменения лабораторных показателей, включая повышение уровней АФП и ХГЧ крови, что наблюдается при герминогенных опухолях [8]. Ультразвуковая картина серозной пограничной опухоли не является специфичной, и может потребоваться применение дополнительных методов визуализации.…”

“…При этом авторы отмечают, что семиномы обычно изоинтенсивны на изображениях, взвешенных по протонной плотности, и гипоинтенсивны и однородны на Т2-взвешенных изображениях. Несеминомные герминогенные опухоли характеризуются заметной гетерогенностью и переменной интенсивностью как на изображениях, взвешенных по протонной плотности, так и на Т2-взвешенных изображениях [8,9].…”

Serous tumors are rare in the group of non-germ cell testicular tumors, ad are morphologically similar to serous ovarian tumors. Preoperative diagnosis of this tumor is difficult due to the lack of specific signs according to clinical and instrumental research methods. In turn, histological verification of a serous borderline tumor is also a difficult task and requires differential diagnosis, primarily with serous cystadenocarcinoma, which, unlike a serous borderline tumor, can metastasize and is generally characterized by worse prognosis. Immunohistochemical examination allows to exclude other tumors with a similar morphological structure, including mesothelial tumors. Due to the rare occurrence of testicular serous tumors, there is minimal clinical experience in the treatment of these tumors worldwide, and there is still no consensus on guidelines for their treatment. Radical orchiectomy is recommended for patients with border-line serous tumors.This article presents a clinical case of a testicular serous borderline papillary tumor with a discussion of the literature data on the instrumental, morphological, and immunohistochemical characteristics of this rare tumor in men.

“…No specific imaging characteristics are recognized for borderline serous tumors of the paratesticular region [ 5 ]. Hsieh et al [ 6 ] reported for the first time a paratesticular serous borderline tumor in a 59-year-old male correlating its magnetic resonance imaging findings, showing a pattern of mild hyperintensity in precontrast T1, with marked hyperintensity in T2, which is a pattern not associated with seminomatous or nonseminomatous germ cell tumors.…”

Tumors of the paratesticular region are generally tumors of slow growth, with little symptomatology and, in most cases, benign in nature; in this area, a borderline serous tumor may arise hypothetically from Müllerian metaplasia of the tunica vaginalis, which is histologically identical to its ovarian counterpart. We present a 10-year-old male, with right gynecomastia and ipsilateral hydrocele, showing an enlarged right testicle with a volume of 12 ml and a left testicle with a volume of 10 ml. A right orchiectomy was performed, which presented a poorly defined tan tumor of 1.8 cm that occupied the vaginal and epididymal tunica, and infiltrates the testicular parenchyma. Histological sections revealed a cystic neoplasm, with hierarchical papillary projections, covered by one or several epithelial columnar and hobnail cells with moderate atypia and scant mitosis. Immunohistochemical reactions were performed, resulting positive for PAX-8, epithelial membrane antigen, and CK7, confirming the diagnosis of borderline serous tumor. Since the first reported case in 1986, few have been reported, the majority of these in adults with only three cases in children. In the few cases reported, the prognosis is usually favorable after surgical resection, with disease-free follow-up for up to 18 years.

“…Testicular borderline mucinous tumors are rare forms of ovarian epithelial tumors [1] . They possess malignant potential, and all reported cases have had a positive prognosis [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] . Here, we report a patient who initially received a misdiagnosis of benign mucinous tumor of the testis but later developed tumor metastasis after surgical intervention.…”
