    Abstract:
    A case of pure, primary testicular carcinoid tumor in a 27-seven-year-old male is reported. The patient presented with a painless enlargement of the right testis but the serum markers for testicular cancer, including alpha-fetoprotein, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and lactate dehydrogenase, were not elevated. Right orchiectomy was performed. Histologically, the tumor showed a typical appearance of carcinoid tumor. Further examinations such as barium studies, computed tomographic scan and Ga scintigraphy, showed no other lesions, and he received an adjuvant chemotherapy of cyclophosphamide, 5-fluorouracil and adriamycin. He is well and free from symptoms 17 months after surgery.
