  • Title: [A case of primary testicular carcinoid tumor].
    Author: Nguyen TH, Wart F, Couvreur Y.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1984; 84(3):134-7. PubMed ID: 6475430.
    Abstract:
    Carcinoid tumors are rare and mainly found in the G.I. tractus but also in the tracheobronchial tree and ovaries. The testicular localization, primary or metastatic, is rare. The authors report a primary carcinoid tumor of the testis in a 35 years old male. The tumor characteristics are well enough known from the literature. Primary carcinoid tumors of the testis appear to be of a low grade malignancy. Local therapy suffices for care of the patient as long as, on microscopic examination, it is not an expression of a teratocarcinoma. The diagnosis is made by the discovery of a tumor since the carcinoid syndrome is seldom in the clinical picture (only 2 cases in the literature, one of whom with generalized metastasis).
